 Theatre in a northern suburb |
Tiörgatan 1 Gothenburg 424 65 Sweden +46 31 330 2960 |
Angered is a northern suburb of Gothenburg, with a dense immigrant population from a wide variety of countries. Here, you will find a thriving community theatre, which was under the auspices of Stadsteatern until the mid-1990s. The theatre lies between the high school and Blå Stället (a community centre with various leisure activities and a cinema), and is open Monday through Thursday. It is constructed as an amphitheatre with a gallery, and seats 200—250 people depending on the set construction. One of the main attractions is drama based on stories submitted by the locals, about Angered itself. These stories are emailed to the theatre under the heading Angered berättar (Angered Tales).

 Gothenburg's grand main street |
Kungsportsavenyn Gothenburg 411 36 Sweden |
Kungportsavenyn, or Avenyn as it is commonly known, is the big parade street in Gothenburg, which goes all the way from Kungportsplatsen up to Götaplatsen. Avenyn is packed with cafés, restaurants, pubs, nightclubs and shops. The City Library is located just below Götaplatsen.

 Australian style and flavours |
Kristinelundsgatan 16 Gothenburg 411 37 Sweden +46 31 81 1812 http://www.dancindingo.se |
Genuine Australian bar and restaurant, owned by an Australian. Dancin' Dingo, in a basement not far from Avenyn, is most popular for the inexpensive beer. The queues outside are long on weekend nights, and there is a definite risk of a loud and rowdy crowd. Every once in a while, there is a live cover band to entertain the bar guests. The food is typically Australian, with large steaks and burgers with names like Bondi Beach Burger and Outback Sirloin Steak. The actual restaurant is quite cozy, with several different rooms and a simple décor. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Cultural spot in Gothenburg |
Götaplatsen Gothenburg 412 56 Sweden |
Götaplatsen was built in 1923 for the World Exhibition the same year. The large statue of the sea god Poseidon by Swedish artist Carl Mille was uncovered in 1931. There is an old superstition that states that if you are unmarried and take a photo of the statue, you will remain single. The Gothenburg Art Museum, Concert Hall and City Theatre are all located here. From the top of the stairs of the Art Museum, you have a great view of Kungportsavenyn. It is a perfect spot to enjoy a take—away coffee and just marvel at the view. There is a café and restaurant in the Art Museum in case you get hungry. Review © 2007, Wcities |

 Theatre with variety shows and comedies |
Lorensbergsparken Gothenburg 412 53 Sweden +46 31 708 6200 http://www.lorensbergsteatern.se |
This is the elegant theatre by Lorensberg with four big white columns framing the palatial entrance. The theatre opened in 1916 with 'A Dream Play' by renowned Swedish dramatist August Strindberg. It was the most modern theatre in the country, with Sweden's first rotating stage and a lighting system that was so innovative for its time that the audience likened it to a revolution in light. In 1934, Lorensberg started showing films instead. The theatre company moved to Stadsteatern, where they stayed until 1987 when Lorensberg again became a playhouse. It was the comedy shows Galenskaparnaand After Shave that re—consecrated this as a theatrical venue, and since then there's been a steady stream of plays, shows and musicals here. The theatre lies slightly obscured behind the Main Library, but in a very central location close to Götaplatsen. For hours, repertoire and tickets, see their website. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Gothenburg Sweden |
Why do many in Sweden call Gothenburg the "jolly west coast"? You might be able to see why in Majorna, a coastal area located to the west of the city centre. The area is known as an older residential district of Gothenburg, but lately has experienced growth due to the increase in the size of the city's working class, many of whom live here. Though much of the region is industrial or residential, a significant portion of this district has been converted into shops. One old industrial complex has been restored and turned into an art gallery. There are also several nice walking areas in the neighbourhood, with views of the Göta Älv, the river which divides the city into two halves as it discharges into the Kattegat river.

The 1930s architecture is evident in the characteristic stairwell, and there is a large rotating stage, which can be lowered in different sections. Workshops and studios were also constructed. In the beginning of the 1970s, the municipality of Gothenburg assumed ownership of Stadsteatern, and since then the theatre has played classical as well as modern Swedish and international drama.

This beautiful building was erected in 1859.

The stage of Stora Teatern has seen all genres: cabaret, comedy, drama, opera, operetta — even Chinese puppet theatre. Between 1920 and 1994, when Göteborgsoperan was opened, it was the home of Göteborgs Musikteater (the Gothenburg Musical Theatre). There are 400 seats in the auditorium, inspired by the French Renaissance. The theatre is also used during the city's annual film festival. Because of the fire hazard, a non—smoking policy is enforced in the foyer. Stora Teatern is situated on Avenyn, in Kungsparken. At this time, Stadsteatern's company is housed there while their own theatre is being restored. For information about tickets and hours, please see their website. Review © 2007, Wcities |
