The [[Margravial Opera House]] was opened in 1748 and is one of the finest Baroque theatres in Europe. The [[UNESCO]] [[World Heritage Site]] is both a museum and the oldest working ''tableau'' in Bayreuth.

The [[Bayreuth Festspielhaus|Festival Hall]] dates to the 19th century and is now used solely for the [[Bayreuth Festival]]. Only works by [[Richard Wagner]] are performed.

The former ''Stadthalle'' (lit.: city [[hall]]) did not have its own ensemble but was regularly used by the ''[[Theater Hof]]'' as well as various travelling theatres. It has been under reconstruction since 2017 and is supposed to be re-opened under the new name ''Friedrichsforum'' in 2023.<ref>{{Cite web|date=2020-09-04|title=Friedrichsforum: Bayreuths Großbaustelle feiert Richtfest|url=https://www.br.de/nachrichten/bayern/bayreuth-grossbaustelle-friedrichsforum-feiert-richtfest,S9WTMgm|access-date=2020-11-09|website=BR24|language=de|archive-date=10 November 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201110034454/https://www.br.de/nachrichten/bayern/bayreuth-grossbaustelle-friedrichsforum-feiert-richtfest,S9WTMgm|url-status=dead}}</ref>

The only two theatres with their own ensemble are the ''Studiobühne Bayreuth'' and amateur dramatic society, ''Brandenburg Kulturstadt''. The venues of the ''Studiobühne'' are the domicile of the theatre in the ''Röntgenstraße'', the artificial ruins of the [[Hermitage Museum (Bayreuth)|Hermitage]] and the courtyard of piano manufacturer [[Steingraeber & Söhne]].
