WE'RE OPERA HOUSE OF THE YEAR AGAIN

Oper Frankfurt has been voted Opera House of the Year for the seventh time, this year, in four categories. This is by no means a foregone conclusion, but the result of hard teamwork aiming for professional and artistic excellence. (Bernd Loebe, Intendant / Managing Director - Oper Frankfurt)

Opera House of the Year 2023

»For an unwavering insight for dramaturgically plausible, innovative and varied repertoire, choice of directors and treasure trove of works ...« Opernwelt

Chorus of the Year 2023

»As in 2022,  Oper Frankfurt's Chorus was singled out for their remarkable achievements, this time in Handel's Hercules and Wagner's Meistersinger von Nürnberg« -Opernwelt

Rediscovery of the Year 2023 – Die ersten Menschen / The First People

»Rudi Stephan's all but forgotten opera (1914), performed posthumously for the first time in 1920 in Frankfurt and now, 103 years later, back on stage in the same place, as General Music Director Sebastian Weigle's final production, directed by Tobias Kratzer.«  Opernwelt

World Premiere of the Year 2023 – Blühen

»Composer Vito Žuraj and dramatist Händl Klaus turnedThomas Mann's novel Die Betrogene into an opera. The result: intelligent theatre, which really gets to you (…)« Jörn Florian Fuchs, BR-Klassik / Leporello

So what makes our work stand out: excellence in all that's artistic and craftsmanship, curiosity about what's new, daring, and a willingness to take risks, is rewarded again.

Our thanks go to everybody working and performing in the theatre, including our colleagues, subscription holders, wonderful audiences, sponsors, supporters, the Patronatsverein and, of course the Stadt Frankfurt.
