History

In the late 1770s the theatre principal Abel Seyler was based in Frankfurt, and established the city's theatrical life.[1]

Opened in 1782, the Comoedienhaus (comedy house) was the first permanent venue of the Frankfurt theatre, both plays and opera (drama and opera).[2][3] Its traditional house, the Schauspielhaus, build in 1902 by architect Heinrich Seeling at the Theaterplatz (now Willy-Brandt-Platz) was destroyed in World War II.

Main temporary location of the Schauspiel from 1945 to 1963 was the Börsensaal.[2] A new house for opera and play was built at the Theaterplatz, completed in 1963.[4] When Harry Buckwitz was general manager, the ruins of the Schauspielhaus were restructured to house both play and opera, now run by the Oper Frankfurt.[4][2] Buckwitz focused on plays by Berthold Brecht, including the world premiere of Die Gesichte der Simone Machard in 1957.[5]

gollark: Yes. All shall be `position: assimilated`.
gollark: CSS is REALLY powerful but also weirdly picky and annoying sometimes.
