Festspielhaus Hellerau
Festspielhaus Hellerau, Multi-purpose performing arts center in Hellerau district, Dresden, Germany.
The Festspielhaus Hellerau features an open stage design without a proscenium arch, accommodating 560 seats for various theatrical performances and events.
Built in 1911 by architect Heinrich Tessenow, the building underwent multiple transformations, serving as a police academy during World War II and Soviet military barracks.
The theater operates as part of the Dalcroze Institute, integrating rhythm and music education with dance and theatrical training for international performances.
Located at 56 Karl-Liebknecht Street, the venue hosts contemporary dance shows, workshops, and artistic residencies throughout the performance season.
The building's restoration in 2006 received support from the Getty Foundation, German government entities, and monument protection organizations totaling substantial funds.
