Theater - Frankfurt hopes for participation in municipal theaters
The City of Frankfurt is hoping that the state and federal government will contribute to the costs of the new municipal theater building. The city councillors approved the proposal by the city council late on Thursday evening. According to the proposal, the opera house is to be rebuilt at its current location and the theater is to be rebuilt a few hundred meters away in the banking district. The city council was instructed to negotiate a lease agreement for the site. The construction costs are estimated at 1.3 billion euros, plus costs for the land of at least 35 million.
All parties agreed that the state and federal government must help with the financing, as according to the Department of Culture, a large proportion of the audience comes from the surrounding area. The city councillors saw it as a positive signal that the new Hessian state government of CDU and SPD is sending positive signals in its draft coalition agreement.
It states: "Together with other (production) theatres, Frankfurt's municipal theatres make a significant contribution to Hesse's cultural scene with an impact far beyond the city limits. We are therefore open to holding talks with the city of Frankfurt about the structural future of the municipal stages as soon as the city has made a final decision on the location."
