The Staatstheater Cottbus, located in Cottbus - Chóśebuz, Germany, is a multi-disciplinary theatre encompassing opera, drama, ballet, concert performances and children’s theatre. The theatre’s origins trace back to 1909 with the opening of the Stadttheater Cottbus; however, the current building complex was inaugurated in 1983 after a period of reconstruction following damage during World War II. It serves as an important cultural institution for the region of Brandenburg and historically has presented both traditional repertoire alongside contemporary works. The theatre underwent significant modernization efforts in recent years, aiming to enhance both audience experience and artistic capabilities while preserving its architectural heritage. It operates as a publicly funded theatre, supported by the state of Brandenburg.
