The Bonn Opera House, completed in 1965, is centrally located on the banks of the Rhine in Bonn, directly on the Kennedy Bridge in the area of the former Rheinviertel. With its 1,024 seats, the sculptural theatre building offers the Beethovenfest space for opera, dance and orchestral performances. The chandeliers in the foyer, designed by ZERO artist Otto Piene, are also remarkable.
