Festspielhaus Baden-Baden Concerts 2025

Beautiful modern concert hall build around an old train station. Great acoustics. Good size. Good view and sound from any seat!

I am grateful for the theater's benefits for young people, and I have heard many impressive concerts here.

As a frequent visitor/ fan of the Stuttgart opera house/ the Stuttgart Ballet I had a high expectation on my visit to the Festspielhaus in Baden-Baden. Yes… the ballet show „ The sleeping beauty „ on 8. Oct. by John Neumeier and his Hamburg Ballett was excellent( not perfect because some dancers of the corps did make technical mistakes), but the commercial and staff services didn’t match the cost itself. The brochure is a combination of all shows during the whole John Neumeier Festival, which means that the visitors have to pay 10 Euro to buy irrelevant information beside the attended show. Even for the attended show itself the references are also insufficient. Only the dancers on 7. and 10. Okt. are listed in the brochure and the visitors on 8. like me (and a lot) tried to search online or asked the staffs but in vain. One young staff claimed that somewhere should be a program introduction but it was a lie. Another old lady staff also had no idea about the dancers for that day and tried to asked her chef. But her chef was busy talking to the celebrity guests in the lounge (only who held invitation cards could enter in) and said he would come to us later but in the end NOT! Well, finally I understand that here is not really a place for folks and ordinary ballet lovers who only pay the ticket price. I would rather stay in Stuttgart - at least the dancers will be published on the wall on the show time, no matter if the visitors buy the extra (but can be less informative) brochure or not.

Gorgeous opera house!!! So many interesting events taking place there!!! I‘ve attended an excursion around the building and was truly fascinated, can’t wait to experience an opera evening there.

The hall is a masterpiece itself. The sound is gentle and transparent; therefore, working here is an honor for every professional sound producer and recording engineer. The Germans definitely know how to calculate ideal space to play music. The reverberation time is not long; thus, the audience enjoys all nuances of the performer.
