Located in the heart of the city, the State Theater Mainz is a vibrant place for artistic and social discourse. This multi-genre venue houses opera, drama, and dance under one roof, utilizing the Main House, the Small House, the Studio Stage U17 deep underground, and the Glass House with a view of the cathedral. A permanent ensemble, along with ongoing collaboration with five resident directors, helps in shaping its identity and profile. An extensive repertoire featuring numerous cross-genre productions guarantees a diverse schedule.
The engagement with the region shapes the program, as do major classics, unusual projects, and contemporary works. At the center of the artistic engagement with themes and stories is always the question of relevance to the present: What does this mean for us today?
The young State Theater justmainz plays a central role in the program of the house — all departments produce works for children and young people, and all ensemble members enthusiastically perform on stage for justmainz. Cultural education and participation are emphasized at the State Theater Mainz through a varied schedule for all age groups, close collaboration with schools and kindergartens, as well as numerous theater education offerings with a great passion for performance. In the still young genre of contemporary children's music theater, the opera division of the State Theater sets important accents with its own composition commissions.
Wheelchair users can easily access the interior via a well-paved ramp and automatically opening external doors. Access paths, box offices, and disabled toilets are tailored to the needs of people with disabilities.
The dance at the State Theater Mainz is contemporary. Collaborating with renowned choreographers from around the world and strong international networking attracts outstanding and versatile dancers to the ensemble of tanzmainz on the Rhine. Not least due to the tanzmainz festival, celebrated for the first time in 2015 and practically sold out right away, Mainz has become a new, regionally recognized hotspot for dance enthusiasts.
