AILA World Congress 2008

The Colosseum Theatre

The Colosseum Theatre is a former mechanical workshop which belonged to the company Krupp and is a prime example of the areas industrial culture and the transition that has taken place in the region. The building, which is one of the most interesting theatres in Germany, formerly marked the boundary between Essen's city centre and “Krupp City”. The mine and steel-producing industries ruled from here and steel set the tone. The atmosphere in this musical theatre is one of a kind due to a mix of times gone by and present day. Today popular musicals, such as “Elisabeth”, “Aida”, and “Phantom of the Opera”, add to this atmosphere. This historically protected building with its industrial relics is now dressed up in a noble design and modern art.
