Das Markgrafliche Opernhaus in Bayreuth, Bavaria is a Baroque opera house, built in the 1700’s - one of Europe’s few surviving theaters of the period. Princess Wilhelmine of Prussia (the older sister of Frederick the Great), wife of Frederick, Margrave of Brandenburg-Bayreuth, participated here as writer, player, composer, actor, and director. The stage’s great depth (27 meters) attracted Richard Wagner, who later had his Bayreuth Festspielhaus built just north of here. The opera is a UNESCO World Heritage site.
