4.6 / 5

You can also find places with little expense. The theater is wonderful. The spectacle offered was rich and generous. Unfortunately, there is no longer education in a general sense, and musical in a particular sense; what is an audience constantly addicted to mobile phones doing in the theater? From the stage I saw the audience light up continuously, here or there. Next to me a Japanese girl had two cell phones; just a glare from me scared her and at the interval she went away, giving up half of the show, which had cost her 75 euros.

Picking up the tickets at the Opera house was really easy at the ‚Abendkasse‘. The venue is jaw droppingly beautiful and the concert absolutely amazing- a really special and unique experience. We seemed to have got the best seats on the house .

A wonderful experience that I highly recommend. The meal was delicious, our companion charming, the concert perfect!

Get Your Guide is Great!!! Received better seats than expected. Delightful concert.

Good concert, we got the upgrade tickets and they were worth it.
