Tours of the Festspielhaus

Our competent Festspielhaus guides present you with a view behind the scenes of Germany’s largest opera and concert house, during a 75-minute tour. The tours take place from Monday to Friday at 11:00am, and on Saturdays, Sundays and public holidays at 2:00pm. Individual and foreign language tours can be arranged upon request. Prices: € 7 (€ 5 for students and visitor card holders). Meeting point: Ticket sales hall of the Old Station. Due to a limitation on the number of participants, it is recommended a reservation be made in advance by calling +49 (0) 72 21/30 13-101.

Hiring of opera glasses

We are happy to provide opera glasses for your visit to the Festspielhaus. They can be hired from all bars in the foyer for a small fee.

Children's seats

A comfortable alternative to daddy’s knee? The Festspielhaus has a limited number of children’s seats. Our foyer team will provide you with them free of charge.

Individual subscription

With an individual subscription you are not only able to choose and secure tickets for all your favourite performances; you can also make a considerable saving.  An individual subscription is dependent on the number of different performances chosen. For a simultaneous purchase of 7 or 8 tickets for 7 or 8 different performances, you will receive a discount of 10% off the original ticket price. For a simultaneous purchase of 9 tickets or more for 9 or more different performances, you will receive a discount of 15% off the original ticket price.
The benefits of an individual subscription can also be used for concession tickets. Within an individual subscription, both regular priced tickets and concession tickets can be combined. A combination of different seating categories is always available.
Please note: All performances must be booked on the same day. Pooling individual bookings after purchase does not count as an individual subscription.
Unfortunately it is not possible to book an individual subscription online.

The Wagener car park is situated off Lange Strasse in the centre of Baden-Baden, approximately 7 minutes from the Festspielhaus by foot. Due to limited capacity, there can be delays when entering or leaving the car parks.
