Alte Oper (Old Opera)

Frankfurt’s iconic Alte Oper (Old Opera) has been hosting magical music moments since the 1880s, with history’s most important international conductors, soloists, ensembles and orchestras making a regular appearance. Having been destroyed in the Second World War, Alte Oper was saved by the efforts of the local people and Action Group, who raised enough support to reconstruct the building in 1981. It now boasts magnificent architecture and spectacular views of Frankfurt’s CBD. This is a grand and noteworthy venue to network, dine, and unwind after the second day of the conference.
