Baden-Baden Theater

Baden-Baden


The Baden-Baden Theater is a neo-baroque confection of white-and-red sandstone with a frilly interior that looks like a miniature version of the Opéra-Garnier in Paris. It forms the gateway to Lichtentaler Allee and stages an eclectic line-up of German-language productions.
