Alte Oper ou a Antiga Ópera ainda parece tão magnífica e imponente quanto quando foi inaugurada pelo Kaiser Wilhelm I em 1880. O edifício foi financiado por abastados cidadãos de Frankfurt e foi projetado em estilo renascentista italiano por Richard Lucae. Destruído em um ataque aéreo de 1944, foi reconstruído mais tarde e renomeado como 'Old Opera Concert and Conference Center'. O auditório principal, o Grosser Saal com capacidade para cerca de 2500 pessoas, é a parte central do edifício e é usado para concertos e extravagâncias musicais. Salas menores podem ser alugadas para eventos, conferências, eventos corporativos, recepções, lançamentos de produtos e assim por diante. Os visitantes podem obter bebidas no café, no restaurante ou no bistrô.
