Helena Majdaniec Summer Theatre, Open-air theatre in Kasprowicz Park, Szczecin, Poland.
Helena Majdaniec Summer Theatre is an open-air venue in Kasprowicz Park with roughly 3,800 seats built into a steep natural slope overlooking Lake Rusałka. Trees surround the seating area, which sits within a valley and creates an outdoor setting for performances.
The site started as a small open-air stage in the 1930s and was redesigned by architect Zbigniew Abrahamowicz, reopening in 1976 as a modern venue. This transformation made it one of Szczecin's important gathering spaces for performances.
The space features works by local artists that give the venue its distinctive character and make it a gathering place for the community.
The venue sits within a park and is accessible on foot with easy navigation through the grounds. Visitors should be aware that seating is arranged on a steep slope, so reaching the upper sections involves climbing multiple sets of stairs.
The theatre earned national recognition for its innovative lighting design, which helped Szczecin win the award for Best Illuminated Municipality in 2009. This thoughtful lighting enhances evening performances with a special glow.
