              In the opera house, most works are performed in the original language and subtitled in German. Operas by Richard Wagner and Richard Strauss will be subtitled simultaneously in German and English. Please note that due to the architecture of the auditorium in rows 19 and 20, the surtitles are only partially legible or not legible at all and there is no guarantee that the surtitles will be legible. Operettas and musicals are performed in German in the Musikalische Komödie.
