The seats we were had were in the balcony in the middle section and it was perfect seating. The seats are comfortable and are at a height that allow everybody to see no matter who's in front of you. The show started off slow when I was a little bit worried, but then it was spectacular. We speak English only so we didn't understand some of the songs so it was nice that some of them were also in English. The trampoline troop, and the girls who did the cancan were spectacular and the whole show was wonderful.

Unfortunately, I didn't receive confirmation or tickets in advance of my online purchase, so I had to go to the ticket office to make sure it worked. I didn't like that. The show was visually a great experience, the colors, costumes and acrobatics were unique.

The stage show with all its colors and the water spectacle are probably unique in this form. In addition, there is great acrobatic action at a high level.

I really enjoyed the show with its stage sets, the artists in their great costumes and their skills. The interludes by 2 other groups of artists were well worth seeing. The seats were well chosen and the price was okay. 👍

The performance was well done. However, the content of the story did not develop naturally despite the written explanation given in English. We should have informed ourselves in more detail before our visit. The stage sets in the second part were of outstanding beauty, almost fairytale-like. The acrobatic performance, which was integrated into the course of the action, was breathtaking. Unfortunately, a second interlude of a similar nature was canceled due to a technical fault. All in all, the performance was a wonderful experience for us and we would gladly recommend it to others. We didn't take any pictures, we were too fascinated by what we saw.

The stage was super nice! It was very nice the light show, the costumes and especially the second part with the dancing. The 2 special performances were great. Otherwise we found all the singing and movements too long.

We enjoyed the evening as the highlight of a birthday party. A wonderful, impressive evening and we expected and cheered the longest line of legs ever. Everything was wonderful, unforgettably beautiful. The pre-ordered break night was great. A small downer: the situation with the ladies' toilet queue was terrible, just like everywhere else in Germany. We would love to come back and are delighted with the stamina of the crew. LG

The origin of the Friedrichstadt-Palast goes back to a market hall, which was on Schiffbauerdamm, roughly 200 meters southwest of the present-day location. However, the history of the venue as a theatre for staging plays and performance acts began when the Großes Schauspielhaus was opened by Max Reinhardt on 29 November 1919.
During the Nazi period, the theatre was called Theater des Volkes and became a hub for late-bourgeois operettas. In 1945, it suffered severely due to air attacks and was eventually abandoned by the owners in 1949. Following this, the city of Berlin took over Friedrichstadt-Palast.
In 1980, the building was closed off after inspection because of severe damage. On 27 April 1984, the new Friedrichstadt-Palast building was opened and the old building was demolished. Now, it is one of the most well-known performance venues in the world. Get your Friedrichstadt-Palast tickets and become part of this illustrious history!
Friedrichstadt-Palast tickets are a treasure trove for those who love architecture. The Palast has been made and remade a number of times, with the help of multiple architects. It is a beautiful example of post-modern architecture. The current building retains the basics of the old interior vestibules but has been decorated on the outside with a contemporary facade, with beautiful coloured-glass windows and spectacular lighting.
The theatre is full of art pieces that enhance the beauty of the place. Some of the most significant, perhaps, are the reliefs by famed artist Emilia N. Bayer, three on the south side and one on the north side of the building.
Friedrichstadt-Palast is highly advanced when it comes to technology and stagecraft. The stage floor of the Friedrichstadt-Palast is known as the largest in the world. The proscenium arch here is also among the widest in Europe. The auditorium has the latest tools when it comes to light and sound design and special effects. The seating and stage arrangement can be shuffled according to the need.
Friedrichstadt-Palast has been known for its spectacular performances and awe-inspiring production for a long time. With a Ballet company, a show band, and a Youth Ensemble in residence, there is never a dearth of shows at the venue. Apart from that, it is also the well-known host of the Berlin International Film Festival.
Over the years, there have been many shows that have caused a sensation among the audience. The recent Grand shows, like the VIVID Grand Show, the ARISE Grand Show, and others are great examples. Additionally, this stage has also seen great performances by famous personalities like Marlene Dietrich, Hildegard Knef, Shirley Bassey and Phil Collins.
With your Friedrichstadt-Palast tickets, you not only get to take in a breathtaking venue but also get to be witness to some of the grandest productions in Berlin's history.

The Show was great, but the music wasn't awesome. However, I enjoyed the various acts and different types of artists. The ticket instructions should state more clearly that you MUST get your ticket from the ticket booth before the show (the mobile version is NOT enough).
