On Tuesday I got two cards one from Germany and one from Japan. The postcard from Germany shows the Margravial Opera House in Bayreuth. It was built between 1745 and 1748 by Joseph Saint-Pierre and the interior is designed by Giuseppe Galli Bibiena and his son Carlo. The woman on the card is Wilhelmine of Prussia, Margravine of Brandenburg-Bayreuth, a sister of Frederick the Great. The Margravial Opera House is since 2012 a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Thank you so much for this great card Natalie!
Amazing card! I would love to see that opera building in real life.
