Grand Opera, great emotions: La Juive in Ulm

With The Jewish Woman (La Juive), the Ulm Theater presents an opera in five acts that still stands for musical power, dramatic tension, and a strong societal echo. The production is based on the music of Fromental Halévy and the libretto by Eugène Scribe; it is performed in French with German surtitles.

An operatic experience with historical strength

Halévy's work has been one of the most successful operas since its premiere in 1835 in Paris and is presented on the Ulm stage as a highly political Grand Opéra. The focus is on religious fanaticism, hatred, and a plot that intensely portrays love, guilt, and exclusion. This mix makes the event experience so compelling: an evening that not only resonates musically but also lingers in the mind for a long time.

The Ulm Theater as a traditional venue

The Ulm Theater is one of the oldest municipal theaters in Germany and has been located at Herbert-von-Karajan-Platz since 1969. As a multi-genre theater featuring opera, operetta, musicals, drama, dance, as well as children's and youth theater, it creates an environment where grand musical theater evenings are particularly effective. In the Great House, a historic stage meets a focused audience atmosphere. ([theaterkompass.de](https://theaterkompass.de/theaterverzeichnisse/organisation/417))

Its location in the city center is well connected: The Theater stop is right in front of the house, and the main train station is about an eight-minute walk away. For drivers, there are options including the underground parking at the theater as well as other parking garages nearby; accessible parking spaces are located on the west side. The accessible entrance is through the main entrance, and there are wheelchair seats in the parterre of the Great House. ([theater-ulm.de](https://www.theater-ulm.de/besuch?utm_source=openai))
