Theater in the Ruhr area

A large spectrum of cultural landscapes can be seen in the Ruhr area. This can be seen in the architecture of the various structures in the theaters and concert halls: In Duisburg and Hagen there are buildings in the neoclassical style of the 19th century. The Bochum theater is an example of post-war architecture (completed in 1953). Gelsenkirchen's music theater, built in the late 1950s, and Dortmund's opera building in 1966, reflect the ideas of modernism. The Aalto-Theater, the opera house in Essen goes back to the plans of the Finnish architect Alvar Aalto, in which the focus was on organic building. Bochum's Anneliese Brost Music Center is characterized by originality by integrating a disused church as a foyer. Completed and inaugurated in 2016. These architectural historical witnesses depict the diversity of culture in the Ruhr area. The calendar aims to encourage people to go on a voyage of discovery. Not only the buildings show the richness of the cultural landscapes on the Ruhr. This diversity can also be discovered in the performances of the houses
