Marientor Theater

Marientor Theater BodyBuilding Rhythmic Gymnastics Gymnastics - Sports Aerobics

The 'Theater am Marientor' was orginially built for musicals and has been used by the German Opera on the Rhine in more recent years. Great voices and virtuosos in instrumental play have performed on the stage and in the orchestra pit of the modern building. During The World Games 2005, the world's top athletes in three different sports will take over and prove that they, too, can entice their audiences to shout: “Encore!” And the theater's accoustics are exceptionally good!
