Geschichte
The Berlin Opera House, of 1741, by Knobelsdorf seems to have been the earliest free-standing theatre building in Europe. It had a portico at one end and two other state entrances at the sides. Over the main entrance was the 'Apollo Hall', a large saloon whose windows formed part of the facade. All these features were to become standard in the great opera houses of a hundred years later.
