Berlin Theatres
Theatrical life in Berlin seems to have never stopped, regardless
of any political and social events. Berlin houses numerous theatres
of national value, plenty of cabarets and variety theatres. Among
the most popular theatres of Berlin are the German Opera House,
the State Opera House, the Hebbel Theatre, the Friedrichstadt Palast,
the Metropol Theatre, the Schiller Theatre and many others.

In 1945 both of Berlin's large opera houses, the
Staatsoper Unter den Linden and the Deutsches Opernhaus in the
Bismarckstrasse, laid in ruins. It is impossible for us now
to realize what theaters and music meant for the populace of
those times. |

The Friedrichstadt Palast is Berlin's biggest
tourist attraction, the only revue theatre in Germany and the
largest in Europe. Every evening the huge stage is a showcase
for perfectly staged feasts of the senses. |

Thanks to the private association "Save the
Hebbel Theater in Berlin-Kreuzberg", and the engagement
of Hans Rosenthal and other well-known actors and public figures,
the dilapidated theatre was never completely abandoned. And
on the 750th anniversary of Berlin, renovations on the building
were finally undertaken by the Berlin Senate. |
