Pyynikki Summer Theatre, Open-air theatre in Pyynikki, Tampere, Finland
The theatre features a revolving auditorium with 836 seats, allowing performances to adjust according to different set arrangements throughout each show point.
Established in 1948 by actors Yrjö Kostermaa and Toivo Mäkelä, the venue began operations on Lake Pyhäjärvi shores before receiving its current name in 1955.
The theatre made history with its production of Tuntematon Sotilas, which ran for nine summers with 372 performances and drew nearly 350,000 attendees.
Performances run from late spring through early autumn, with tickets requiring advance purchase due to consistent attendance at this wheelchair-accessible venue.
The 1959 revolving auditorium, designed by architect Reijo Ojanen, remains the oldest operational rotating theatre seating structure in Finland.
