The Hessian State Theater was built in neo-baroque style by two famous Viennese architects for Emperor Wilhelm II, and opened in 1894. Various extensions and reconstructions have been carried out since, and the frescos, stuccowork, and sculptures are a sight to behold. Classical and contemporary opera, theater, ballet, and musicals are presented on the theater's four stages.
Throughout the year, performances and events ranging from classical to contemporary are hosted at the Kurhaus, including performances from the Hessian State Orchestra, and the annual Wine Ball and New Year's Eve party. In addition, there are very occasional organ concerts in the Friedrich-von-Thiersch-Saal, which has been home to an organ since the Kurhaus was built in 1907. On open days, you can visit the organ room, which is usually closed to the public.
The impressive modern RheinMain CongressCenter (RMCC) building, a glorious mix of natural stone, wood, glass, and metal, hosts all manner of events including concerts, cultural events, balls, and trade fairs.
