Hesse (/ˈhɛsə/) or Hessia (German: Hessen [ˈhɛsn̩], Hessian dialect: Hesse [ˈhɛzə]) is a federal state (Land) of the Federal Republic of Germany, with just over six million inhabitants. The state capital is Wiesbaden; the largest city is Frankfurt am Main. Until the unification of Germany, the territory of Hesse was occupied by the Grand Duchy of Hesse, the Duchy of Nassau, the free city of Frankfurt and the Electorate of Hesse, known also as Hesse-Cassel. Due to divisions after World War II, the modern federal state does not cover the entire cultural region of Hesse, which includes both the State of Hesse and the area known as Rhenish Hesse (Rheinhessen) in the neighbouring state of Rhineland-Palatinate.

One of the city's primary performance centers, the State Theatre hosts opera, ballet, concerts and more.
Amazing environment with great performance we came early before the start and enjoyed a drink in the amazing atmosphere of the Foyer. The bar serves small snacks and nice drinks in a stunning setting. The performance was powerful and on high standards. We will come again.

Destroyed by Allied bombing in 1944, Frankfurt's beautifully reconstructed opera house was reopened in 1981. It's now a major venue for concerts and operas.
The old Opera House was basically destroyed during the war, but has risen Phoenix like with a superb warm and great sounding interior. Very close to our hotel, a free evening for us in the City coincided with an excellent concert by the Frankfurt Radio Orchestra, which was an unexpected musical treat for us. The quality of the orchestra and soloist could not be faulted and we would certainly visit again.

The Alte Oper at Opernplatz in Frankfurt am Main is a concert and event house. All kinds of events take place (see their homepage for actaul events) However, in addition to the events inside, a beautiful building from the outside. Many nice little cafes on the Opera Square invite you for coffee or tea. Easy to go there, in the middle of the city. Just enjoy the sun in summer and have a drink. The building also looks very beautiful in the evening when it is illuminated. Definitely one of the few buildings in Frankfurt that is definitely worth it! The European Central Bank is very close, and the banks of the Main are also not far away

Very high quality shows in this small theatre, all in English. In this case, Sweeney Todd, interpreted as a half musical piece...very bloody...excellent!
