Dresdner FriedrichstaTT Palast, Theater and cabaret venue in Dresden, Germany
The Dresdner FriedrichstaTT Palast is a cabaret and theater venue located in a former machinery hall at Wettiner Platz. The hall accommodates various stage programs ranging from cabaret and theatrical performances to musical shows.
The building was originally the machinery hall of the Saxon State Printing Office and later adapted as a cabaret stage. After operating under a different name for roughly two decades, it underwent a redesign and name change in 2019 with an expanded artistic focus.
The venue regularly presents political cabaret shows that address current topics and encourage audiences to think critically. Beyond these satirical evenings, theatrical productions and musical performances round out the program throughout the year.
The box office is open on specific weekdays and offers a good opportunity to learn about current programs before an event. It helps to arrive early to familiarize yourself with the venue and secure a good seat.
The establishment operates as a nonprofit organization, which is rare among Dresden's cabaret venues. This allows the house to maintain a consistent program of political and artistic content without commercial pressure.
