UNESCO Weltkulturerbe Markgräfliches Opernhaus
The Margravial Opera House in the Upper Franconian town of Bayreuth is an 18th century theatre building. Since Bayreuth had become an insignificant provincial town after the margravial period towards the end of the 18th century, the building was able to survive the subsequent period virtually unchanged.
