Introduction
Founded in 1843, the Thalia Theater is one of the undisputed leading houses of German-language drama. Its main thousand-seat stage sits near the foot of the Alster at Alstertor, staging reworked classics and premieres every season, and regularly drawing Germany's most noted directors and actors. Even for visitors without German, the theatre rewards a visit as a cultural landmark: the lit marquee above the lakeside streets carries theatrical atmosphere of its own.
