HISTORY<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

NO history, NO future!<\/strong> Founded by an artist, the Neuk\u00f6llner Oper carries the tradition of independent art and alternative music theatre in its DNA. With over 40 years of history, it is firmly rooted in its neighborhood\u00a0\u2013\u00a0something already reflected in the fact that it bears its district\u2019s name. Since 1988, it has been based on Karl-Marx-Stra\u00dfe, featuring a historic ballroom, a studio stage, and now two axolotls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
