Starlight Express theatre, Musical theater building in Bochum, Germany.

The Starlight Express Theatre features a three-level stage covering 1,100 square meters with a rotating bridge element weighing nine tons.

The theater opened in 1988 as the first venue constructed specifically for a single musical, with construction costs reaching 24 million Deutsche Mark.

Performers skate through a 280-meter track spanning three levels while singing in German, reaching speeds of 60 kilometers per hour.

Located at Stadionring 24 in Bochum, the theater accommodates 1,650 guests and stands near the RuhrCongress event center with light rail access.
