    The old opera was badly damaged in World War II. The city council wanted to leave the remains (in some cases there were plans to blow them up). In the 1950s, a citizens' initiative to rebuild the old opera was founded. The reopening took place in the presence of the then Federal President Carstensen on August 28, 1981.
    A tour is only offered as a guided tour for 12 or more people with prior registration (mailto: soeren.appuhn@t-online.de).

    The construction costs of the Frankfurt Opera were planned at two million marks at the time. By the time it was completed in 1880, it had cost a whole 20 million marks. In 1944, it was largely destroyed in a bombing raid, and in 1951, a new opera house was built. In 1965, they wanted to tear down the ruin completely, but thanks to citizen protests and Germany's largest fundraising campaign to date, it was rebuilt true to the original by 1981.

    Here is a Frankfurt sign in front of the old opera house – a really great picture.
