Brilliant - is the best way to describe the Aalto opera house which constantly tops the critics’ opinion polls.
The Aalto Music Theatre, an architectural masterpiece by Finnish visionary Alvar Aalto, not only captivates the eye with its organic, harmonious lines, but also appeals to the intellect. Here, Aalto fulfils his idea of "humane architecture", which deliberately turns away from stiff splendour. The elegant foyer area therefore often becomes the stage for intimate piano matinees and impressive vocal evenings.
The "Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung" praised the theatre as the most beautiful of its genre since 1945. Since its opening in 1988, it has provided space for 1125 art lovers and is a prominent venue for the renowned Aalto Ballet Theatre Essen and the celebrated Essen Philharmonic Orchestra. Art is celebrated here at the highest level - the impressive, often award-winning opera and ballet productions are among the outstanding addresses on the German music theatre scene for critics and audiences alike.
Immerse yourself in the world of high art without detours - that is the appeal of the Aalto Theatre.
