The Markgräfliches Opernhaus (Margraves’ Opera House), was erected in the 18th century on orders of the Margravine Wilhelmina and is considered the best-preserved unaltered Baroque theater in Europe. It is fairly plain outside, but the interior is in Rococo splendor with no surface left unpainted or ungilded. Astonishingly, the whole interior is made of wood. The theater was the largest in Germany up to 1871.
The three levels of galleries are divided into boxes, with the royal box carrying the crown of Prussia and the coat of arms of the local margraves. Apparently, this theater drew Wagner to Bayreuth but he considered it unsuitable for his greatest works–it really is more suitable to magic flutes than riding Valkyries. Light and sound shows are every 45 minutes. No sightseeing during recitals.
