Thalia Theater, Theater venue in Halle, Germany
The Thalia Theater is a performance venue in Halle and part of the Theater, Oper und Orchester GmbH Halle complex. The space showcases a diverse repertoire ranging from classical drama to modern productions.
The venue originated in 1952 as Theater der jungen Garde and received its current name in 1990 after the fall of the Berlin Wall. This renaming marked a fresh start following German reunification.
The house name changed in 1990 from Theater der jungen Garde to Thalia Theater, recalling the 1895 Thalia-Theater on today's Thaliapassage. Since 1977 it has hosted the Werkstatt-Tage festival every two years, and from 1993 the Hunds-Tage festival alternates with it, showing children's and youth theatre from other European countries.
Elevators and barrier-free access make it easier for visitors with different mobility needs. Before your visit, check the current schedule to find performances that match your interests.
The theatre's foyer holds Hans Rothe's plaster intarsia "Gedanken des Fliegens in der Märchen- und Sagenwelt und Utopie", roughly 4 by 4.5 metres, made for the house in the 1960s. The painter's wall piece depicts flight in fairy tales, legends and utopia, and is easy to walk past on the way to the auditorium.
