Otáčivé hlediště Český Krumlov
Otáčivé hlediště Český Krumlov, Open-air theatre in Český Krumlov, Czech Republic.
Description
Otáčivé hlediště Český Krumlov is an open-air theatre featuring a circular auditorium that rotates 360 degrees during performances. The structure weighs about 650 tons and is powered by four electric motors to enable smooth transitions between different locations within the castle gardens.
History
Architect Joan Brehms established the theatre in 1958 with an initial capacity of 60 seats. The venue was later expanded to 644 seats following a 1993 reconstruction, transforming it into a major performance space.
Culture
The venue hosts summer performances of drama, opera, and ballet with multilingual subtitles available via tablet devices. Audiences experience the shows from different vantage points within the castle gardens as the venue moves around them.
Practical
Visitors should prepare for uneven ground since the theatre is situated within the castle gardens and moves during performances. Weather-appropriate clothing is important, as shows take place outdoors and comfort depends on the conditions.
Did you know?
The audience does not watch from a fixed stage; instead, the entire seating area rotates with the scenes to reveal different viewpoints of the performance and surroundings. This unusual approach means each spectator experiences several completely different views of the environment during a single show.
