Industrial European Solidarity Centre and Gdansk Shakespeare Theatre (the only theatre in the world with opening roof) enriched cultural and conference map of Gdansk.
Only few weeks after European Solidarity Centre and Gdansk Shakespeare Theatre were opened venues already became one of the most recognized symbols of Gdansk.
Shakespeare’s spirit back in Gdansk
Probably only true lovers of William Shakespeare know that first Elisabethan theatre in Europe (except Great Britain of course) was opened in … Gdansk. It was over 300 years ago and now Shakespeare spirit came back to Gdansk. September 19th official grand opening of Gdansk Shakespeare Theatre took place. Characteristic black building fit in the architecture of Gdansk Main Town. Gdansk Shakespeare Theatre will for sure attract many spectacular theatre’s premieres but also business meetings for up to 600 guests. Just imagine – official gala dinner in Elisabethan theatre … under the starry sky. Opening roof in theatre is a world’s phenomenon absolutely worth to see.
Gdansk – where Solidarity was born
Symbolic date was chosen for the official opening of another spectacular venue – the European Solidarity Centre. In 1980 August 30th-31st crucial agreement between authority in those days and representatives of Solidarity movement was signed. 34 years later Lech Walesa, President of Poland and historical leader of Solidarity opened European Solidarity Centre. From outside this venue reminds ship under construction, inside there is over 26 000 m2 floorage (offices, library, conference rooms, exhibition space.) European Solidarity Centre is also the only venue in Gdansk where trees grow inside beautiful foyer. Imagine those breath-taking conferences, workshops and evening galas to be hosted there.
European Solidarity Centre and Gdansk Shakespeare Theatre are much more than only new venues to organize events in Gdansk. Unique atmosphere of both venues will surely attract most demanding business guests. What is worth to add European Solidarity Centre and Gdansk Shakespeare Theatre are located in the Gdansk Old Town.
