Metronom Theater, Musical theater building in Neue Mitte Oberhausen, Germany.
The Metronom Theater is a musical theater in Neue Mitte Oberhausen with roughly 1,830 seats spread across orchestra and balcony levels. The venue is modern in design and offers good sight lines to the stage from nearly all seating positions.
The theater was built between 1998 and 1999 and opened as TheatrO CentrO with Peter Maffay's production of Tabaluga & Lilli. It later became an important venue for bringing cultural entertainment to the Neue Mitte district.
The theatre stages German versions of musicals from around the world, bringing stories like Wicked and Sister Act to local audiences. These productions draw visitors from across the region who want to experience high-energy performances in their own language.
The theater sits near the CentrO shopping center and is easy to reach by car or public transport. Visitors should check ahead to ensure tickets are available, as popular shows often sell out quickly.
The theater underwent a major renovation in 2005 that modernized the foyer and improved the seating arrangements. This redesign gave the hall a fresher appearance and increased visitor comfort noticeably.
