Musiktheater im Revier
Musiktheater im Revier, Opera house and theatre in Gelsenkirchen, Germany
The Musiktheater im Revier features a large glass facade extending over 4,500 square meters, revealing the cylindrical auditorium structure inside the building.
Werner Ruhnau designed this cultural venue, which opened its doors in January 1959 and received protection status as a German cultural monument in 1997.
The theater maintains its own opera company, chorus, and ballet ensemble, while the Neue Philharmonie Westfalen serves as the resident orchestra.
The venue contains two performance spaces: the Large House with 1,008 seats and the Small House accommodating 336 spectators for different productions.
Two monumental sculptures by Yves Klein decorate the building, including a blue sponge sculpture that influenced Gelsenkirchen's official color selection.
