The 34 m high building was damaged badly in both World Wars but nevertheless the civil initiative of Frankfurt had the Old Opera renovated between 1972 and 1981 so that a newly decorated and multifunctional building was established. With a new technical concept which makes the acoustics are better than ever before the Old Opera appears to be a concert and convention house.

Festhalle
The Festhalle in Frankfurt, which was built in 1909, was considered to be epochal and architectural piece of art thanks to its self-supporting cupola construction. Colloquially named “Gudd Stubb” the Festhalle is one of the most beautiful event locations of Frankfurt. In 1986 the building was reconstructed and formed into a modern and technically adjusted community centre where many national and international events are taking place including concerts and opera, sport events, circus performances, conventions as well as product presentations and a diversity of parties and festivities. The central location at the fair and the combination of festive hall, forum and convention centre offer an outstanding place for any kind of events already for over a 100 years.
