Today's opera house on Augustusplatz, opened in 1960 as the only new opera house in the GDR and now a listed building, is an impressive, cohesive work of art in the architecture and interior design of the 1950s. The trapezoidal auditorium in the form of a single-aisle theatre offers 1273 seats. It impresses with its excellent acoustics. There are excellent viewing opportunities from every seat.
