Culture in Cologne

Philharmonie

It is the home of the local Gürzenich and WDR Symphony Orchestras, and the venue for all the big names of classical musik but also a host for other genres. Every day at the concert hall is a special one. Dom / Hbf Line 5 / 16 / 18

Opera

The Opera House in Offenbachplatz square, designed by the Cologne architect Wilhelm Riphahn, is currently closed for renovation. Until it reopens, performances are being staged at the Staatenhaus im Rheinpark. Appellhofplatz Line 3 / 4 / 5 / 16 / 18

Musical Dome

The blue roof of the Musical Dome is visible far and wide. The inside is equally colourful: this theatre is a safe bet for successful musical productions from “Tanz der Vampire” to “We Will Rock You”.

Breslauer Platz Line 16 / 18

Theatre

Köln Schauspielhaus beside the Opera House is also currently undergoing major refurbishment. Until work is completed, you can see the famous theatre company perform in Depot 1 & 2 at the Carlswerk venue in Mülheim.
