Oldenburgisches Staatstheater is a historic theatre distinguished by its dome and imposing Neo-Baroque architecture. The present building was reconstructed in the late 19th century, while its Großes Haus can accommodate up to 577 seated guests, depending on the auditorium configuration. It is one of Oldenburg's principal performing-arts venues, hosting opera, drama, ballet, concerts and other stage productions.
Inside, historic character is combined with modern theatre technology. During an extensive renovation of the main auditorium, the stage equipment was modernised and the acoustics improved, while decorative stucco and wall paintings were restored. The result is a classical theatre atmosphere supported by technical conditions suited to contemporary musical and theatrical performances.
The main entrance is at Theaterwall 19, Oldenburg, Germany. The Theater-Garage provides parking nearby, while bus line 309 stops at Theater directly by the venue; Julius-Mosen-Platz and Schlosswall are also convenient nearby stops.
