Cultural experiences creates community and strengthen a sense of belonging. As part of our social responsibility, Commerzbank also wants to play an active role in this. With our long-term commitment to Alte Oper, Schauspiel Frankfurt and Oper Frankfurt, we’re committed to a diverse and lively cultural environment in Frankfurt, which appeals not only to our customers and our employees, but also to society.
Alte Oper
As a well-known concert and congress center, the Alte Oper in Frankfurt enjoys a nationwide reputation. It pulls in the crowds with around 500,000 visitors a year. During the 2024 / 2025 season, Commerzbank is sponsoring the Fratopia-Festival, where numerous short concerts ranging from classical to experimental are on the program.
Schauspiel Frankfurt
The Schauspiel Frankfurt is the largest speech theatre in the Rhine-Main region with a nationwide significance and several venues in the city on the Main. At Schauspiel Frankfurt, Commerzbank is sponsoring selected premieres. In 2024, we begin with "The Great Gatsby".
Oper Frankfurt
The Oper Frankfurt is the musical theatre of the Städtischen Bühnen in Frankfurt am Main. It’s one of the most important music theatres in Europe and has been awarded several times as Opera House of the Year. During the 2024 / 2025 season, Commerzbank is sponsoring the "Opera for Children" series.
Cooperation with museums
Commerzbank has given major works of art from the former stock of Dresdner Bank on permanent loan to support museums nationwide, including the Städel Museum Frankfurt, the Nationalgalerie Berlin, the Staatliche Kunstsammlungen Dresden and the Städtische Galerie Dresden. The aim is to make the works of internationally renowned artists available to a broad public in a scholarly context. To this end, Commerzbank has added a generous financial donation to each of the loan collections to support the cultural institutions in their important work.
