History

Its main venue, the opera house ("Opernhaus Nürnberg"), is one of the largest theatres in Germany. It was built from 1903 to 1905 in Art Nouveau style by the architect Heinrich Seeling. Until 1 January 2005, it was known as the "Städtische Bühnen Nürnberg". Other venues are the play house (Schauspielhaus Nürnberg) including the small stages "Kammerspiele" and "BlueBox", and the Meistersingerhalle where the concerts of the orchestra (the Staatsphilharmonie Nürnberg) are held.

Since 2018, the company's Generalmusikdirektorin (General Music Director) is Joana Mallwitz. Her initial contract, announced in October 2017, was for 5 years.[1] She is the first female conductor to be named GMD of the company.[2] In July 2021, the company announced that Mallwitz is to stand down as its GMD at the close of the 2022–2023 season.[3]
