Kick-off for the Architectural Competition for the Upper Palace Gardens
117 years ago, a theater project of international significance was launched in Stuttgart: the construction of what is now the opera house on the Upper Palace Gardens, known as the Littmann-Bau. With the launch of the realization competition for its renovation, modernization, and expansion, a new chapter now begins in the history of the world's largest three-genre theater.
On October 6, the architectural competition for the renovation and modernization of the opera house in Stuttgart commenced. At the Staatsgalerie Stuttgart, opposite the Littmann-Bau, the jury approved the competition documents. These documents form the basis for the competition involving 30 participating architectural firms.
The renovation and expansion of the listed Littmann-Bau is the most prominent of a total of three sub-projects, alongside the interim location at the Wagenhallen in Stuttgart-North and the new workshop building in Bad Cannstatt. Following the project resolution for the detailed planning phase of the new workshop building, which was passed by the Stuttgart City Council and the State just a few days ago, the architectural competition for the opera house marks another important milestone for the overall project.
