Curtain up: The festive reopening
Description
Opera and Schauspiel Köln celebrate their return to their original homes at Offenbachplatz with a grand festive gala.
The programme for citizens and invited guests is presented jointly by Opera and Schauspiel on the opera stage.
The lineup includes the Cologne Opera ensemble as the artistic heart of the opera house, which is finally shining in all its beauty once again, the Gürzenich Orchestra under the direction of General Music Director Andrés Orozco-Estrada, and, as a special guest, star soprano Diana Damrau.
Starting 29 June 2026, tickets can be purchased and registrations for the raffle can be submitted.
