360 Degree Virtual Tour through the City of Saarbrücken. Saarland State Theater (Main Theater: Großes Haus) The Neo-Classical State Theatre was opened in 1938 with a performance of “The Flying Dutchman”. At the time it was the most modern theatre in Europe, but had to be reconstructed after considerable damage during WWII. In 1988/89 the 869-seat auditorium was completely renovated and enlarged.
The State Theatre stages operas, operettas, musicals, plays and ballets. In the foyer chamber concerts, introductions to the events and audience discussions take place.
