Musical Dome

The Musical Dome (2012 to 2015: Oper am Dom) is a 1,640-seat^[1] theatre in Cologne, North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany. It opened in October 1996.

It was originally built as a temporary performance venue for musicals in Cologne's inner borough of Innenstadt. The building has a distinctive fiberglass and steel structure, and is built on a promenade along the river Rhine, in the centre of the old town, adjacent to Cologne Cathedral. During the night, the Dome is illuminated with blue lights that can be observed from afar. The theater officially opened to the public in 1996.
