Alte Oper

"Alte Oper is a concert hall in Frankfurt and one of the city‘s most iconic landmarks. The history of the house dates back to the late 19th century when it was constructed in October 1880, based on the designs of the Berlin architect Richard Lucae. The grand opening was celebrated with a performance of Mozart's Don Giovanni. However, after the destruction during the end of World War II, it took nearly four decades for the building, often referred to as the most beautiful ruin in Germany, to be restored with a magnificent facade and transformed into a modern concert hall. It was finally reopened with great solemnity on 28 August 1981. "
