The Halle Opera House (German: Opernhaus Halle) is an opera house located in Halle, Saxony-Anhalt, Germany. Originally named the Halle Town Theatre (German: Stadttheater von Halle), the theatre building was constructed in 1886 by architect Heinrich Seeling.
On 31 March, 1945, a bomb attack destroyed much of the original building. Restoration work began a few years later, and the theatre reopened in 1951 under the name Landestheater Halle. In January 1992, it was renamed to its current title.
Today, the Halle Opera House hosts performances of opera, ballet, and orchestral concerts. It also serves as the main performance venue for the annual summer Handel Festival held in the city.
