SHARON BOUCHER -HASKINS
★★★★★3 years agoThis was a fantastic evening. It was the 33rd anniversary of the Women's Club of Nuremberg Opera.
Eric Decker-Sutherland
★★★★★10 months agoAn amazing building with beautiful architectural details! We saw La Cage aux Follies on a weekday, the theatre was almost full. We sat upstairs, but still had a great view of the stage. We can't wait for our next visit and show.
