Stage Theater am Potsdamer Platz

Designed by the celebrated Italian architect Renzo Piano, the Stage Theater am Potsdamer Platz opened its doors in 1999, becoming part of a new era. What was once a no man's land while the Wall was standing has now become a bustling centre with the Sony Center, shops, cafés, and cinemas.

The Theater am Potsdamer Platz into a musical theatre in which different shows are shown.

The imposing building on Marlene-Dietrich-Platz stands out with its 35 metre high, fully glazed façade, through which you can see the six-storey staircase inside. Thanks to its three film projectors and an 8 x 18 metre screen, the theatre is transformed into the official Berlinale Palast every February for the International Film Festival. The red carpet is then rolled out here for film stars from all over the world.
