The revolving auditorium is an originally designed auditorium of the natural open air theatre, which can take the spectators to another scene with a simple twist. There is no curtain and no delays with the stage sets. The repertoire consists of adaptations of various plays from Czech fairy tales to Shakespeare and newly, as part of the International Music Festival, also the opera.
The first revolving auditorium was built in 1958, but it had barely 60 seats. With growing popularity, it was widened several times and the current auditoriums from 1994 can accommodate nearly 650 spectators. However, this 650-ton colossus in the heart of the baroque garden is, according to UNESCO representatives, an eyesore and Český Krumlov is being threatened to be removed from the World Heritage List in case of failing to comply with the removal demand.
