Thalia Theater Alstertor

In the location's words:

The old Thalia Theater building was designed by the architects Franz Georg Stammann and Auguste de Meuron and erected opposite the current building in 1843. The larger new building was opened in 1912 under the direction of director Leopold Jessner on Pferdemarkt, today: Gerhart-Hauptmann-Platz, (architects Werner Lundt and Georg Kallmorgen) with 1300 seats. The building was largely destroyed during the Second World War, restored at the end of the 1950s and reopened in December 1960.

The Thalia Theater is one of Hamburg's four state theaters, a spoken theater with a permanent and highly acclaimed ensemble. There are around 1,000 seats on the large stage and the repertoire comprises around 20 productions, which are performed daily or in blocks. There are around nine new premieres each season in the Grosses Haus am Alstertor.
