Trailer

For nearly 25 years, Landesbank Baden-Württemberg (LBBW) has been one of the main supporters of the Staatsoper Stuttgart and has built a lasting connection with it. As a multi-award-winning "Opera House of the Year," the Staatsoper Stuttgart – like LBBW – combines tradition, modernity, and vision with a commitment to quality and a strong regional focus.

Both partners recognized early on the value of making opera more accessible to a wider audience. At LBBW, we continuously develop this partnership and draw on the expertise of the opera for selected exclusive training programs. Joachim Erdle, LBBW Board Member in charge of corporate business, says: "Just as with an opera production, successful banking requires a professional and highly motivated team that is willing to adopt new perspectives. This is the only way we can meet the highest expectations of both clients and audiences."

Viktor Schoner, Artistic Director of the Staatsoper Stuttgart, adds: "The Stuttgart Opera House has been an open space for everyone since 1912, when it was built for all citizens. Today, more than ever, we aim to open up to the city, the region, and the world, and our 'Open Opera' format plays a crucial role in that. Thanks to LBBW’s support, we are able to continue offering this initiative this season."
