Schlosstheater Schwetzingen, Palace theatre in Schwetzingen, Germany
The Schlosstheater features a horseshoe-shaped wooden structure with two projecting balconies and a 35-meter stage that opens to the palace garden.
Nicolas de Pigage constructed this theatre in 1752, initially displaying Rococo style before transitioning to Neoclassical design elements after 1770.
The Schwetzingen Festival, established in 1952, presents classical music performances and serves as the largest classical radio festival worldwide.
