The Cuvilliés-Theater is a Rococo theater hall built in 1751–1753, named after its creator - Belgian architect François de Cuvilliés. Initially, it was a court theater, intended solely for the use of the ruler and his guests. From 1795, he became a public theater on the stage of, among others premiere of "Idomeneusz, King of Crete" by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart.
The structure of the theater reflects the then structure of German society. It has four floors, each with 14 lodges and a royal lodge situated in front of the stage, occupying the two central floors. The richest are decorations on the first level, designed for rich nobility. The three higher floors are less and less sumptuous (petty nobles and court officials sat in them). The most modestly equipped ground floor designed for burghers and urban intelligence.
The Cuvilliés Theater was built with opera performances in mind, but significant theater events also took place here, including the premiere of "Heddy Gabler" by Henrik Johan Ibsen in 1891.
