One well-known theaters in Germany, Aachen is considered to be not only a place where you can listen to the opera or a drama, but the attraction. The building was built in record time: only three years have passed since 1822, when the first draft of the theater, until 1825, when the building heard the first applause. From its earliest days the theater is home to the famous Aachen Symphony Orchestra: there were plays and balls and mesmerizing music was perfect thanks to the proper structure of the building.

During the Second World War, and more precisely in 1943, in the theater building was bombed. Needless to say, that the theater was destroyed almost completely. Immediately after the war began an active reconstruction of the building on the surviving drawings. Outside the theater was restored to its original form, well, the interior were carried out in a more modern form.

The first premiere of the updated Theater Aachen held December 3, 1951, and is very symbolic that the show, which started a new history, was elected to the opera of Richard Wagner's "The Mastersingers of Nuremberg", which is considered one of the highest peaks of the composer. Since then, the theater was repaired several times, but never closed, and within its walls worked many talented and famous people. Thus, among the conductors working in my time here, it is worth noting Wolfgang Trommer, Felix Raabe, Yukio Kitahara.
