EXTRACURRICULAR

ALL THE WORLD’S A STAGE? European Theatres, Opera & Concert Halls at the MAKK in Cologne.

It is no coincidence that this exhibition is taking place in Cologne whose own opera house is in the process of being rebuilt, but this wide ranging, comprehensive and impressive exhibition includes well established theatres like the NT in London as well as buildings which are still on the drawing board.
