Oper Leipzig

Oper Leipzig is one of the oldest civic opera companies in Europe, tracing its origins to 1693 and performing in a modernist building on the Augustusplatz that opened in 1960. The company shares its home with the Leipzig Ballet and draws on the extraordinarily deep musical heritage of a city associated with Bach, Mendelssohn, Schumann, and Wagner. Oper Leipzig maintains a large repertoire and an impressive output of new productions each season.
