Margravial Opera House
Markgräfliches Opernhaus
The baroque opera house, commissioned by Margravine Wilhelmine and designed by famous Giuseppe Galli Bibiena and son Carlo from Italy, was completed in 1748 and remained Germany's largest opera house until 1871. This ornate opera house partially drew Richard Wagner's attention to Bayreuth. In 2012 the opera house was added to the UNESCO World Heritage Site list, and its refurbishment was completed in 2018.
