Dosky Outdoor Theatre, Sylvan theater in Doksy, Czech Republic.
Dosky Outdoor Theatre is an open-air performance venue situated among trees in the town of Doksy. The space is designed to accommodate audiences from multiple viewing points across its sloped natural terrain.
The natural amphitheatre in the former sandstone quarries at V Podskalí hosted theatre from 1941 until the 1960s, when performances stopped. The site lay unused for decades before the space was levelled again in 2020. Concerts resumed in summer 2021, with acts such as Anopheles + Trilobit-rock, Brutus and Vojtaano + Bára Líbová.
This venue serves as a gathering place where locals and visitors experience performances and concerts in direct contact with nature. The setting combines artistic events with outdoor enjoyment, making each performance feel connected to the surrounding forest.
The theatre lies in former sandstone quarries in the forest between the family houses and the football pitch of SK Doksy, so it is reached on foot along woodland paths. The grounds were levelled in 2020; summer concerts have been held there since 2021, so check the current programme before setting out.
The sloping terrain was deliberately designed so spectators can view performances from various elevations, creating natural viewing angles that work throughout the seating areas. This natural amphitheater arrangement means there are no truly bad seats in the house.
