About the Margravial Opera House
The Margravial Opera House, called Markgräfliches Opernhaus in German, is a Baroque opera house in Bayreuth, a town in Germany. Construction ran from 1745 to 1750. Few theaters of its period survive in Europe, and this is one of them; it has been extensively restored. The opera house joined the UNESCO World Heritage List on June 30, 2012, because of its exceptional Baroque architecture. It was inaugurated for the marriage of the margrave couple's daughter Elisabeth Fredericka Sophie to Duke Charles Eugene of Württemberg.
Joseph Saint-Pierre, a French architect (ca. 1709–1754), drew the plans. He served as court builder to Frederick, the Hohenzollern margrave of Brandenburg-Bayreuth, and to Princess Wilhelmine of Prussia, his wife. The building measures 26 meters in height, 71.5 meters in length and 31 meters in width, and it sits where the street widens, giving carriages room to stop in front. Its sandstone facade, with large Corinthian columns, was meant to harmonize with nearby buildings and to echo the Place Vendôme in Paris. Atop a balustrade across the facade stand sculptures of Minerva, Apollo and six Muses.
Giuseppe Galli Bibiena and his son Carlo, from Bologna, designed the wooden interior in Italian Late Baroque style. The bell-shaped auditorium seats roughly 500 people and is covered in gold accents. The margrave's Court Loge sits opposite the stage and fills all three box stories. The stage is 27 meters (89 ft) deep, a depth that attracted the composer Richard Wagner.

- Statues on the balustrade

- Slim columns on the front
- Slender columns frame the columned front. Layers of 0.12 to 0.16 mm keep their edges crisp, and a bigger print keeps more of the carved detail.
- One piece with the ground
- The Margravial Opera House is joined to the ground in the exported file, and the four-side check found no floating parts, so nothing needs gluing.
