Cologne Opera (Cologne)

Germany / Nordrhein-Westfalen / Cologne / Offenbachplatz

Taken from nicecity:Built in 1957 under architect Wilhelm Rip- hahn, the Opera House is the most exqui- site example of structural art out of the 1950's. The foyer is bright, larg and spraw- ling. On the left and right one rides both of the stairways into the nice wood- paneled
auditorium with its 1,300 seats. There seats can be selected from four parquettes or 22 terrace seats, which are remeniscent of large bobsleds. From every seat geusts have a good view of the stage, althought the leg room could be larger. The accoustics are good as well and a view to the ceiling shows the beautiful lighting in the form of calyxes that fall gently on the eyes.
