STARLIGHT EXPRESS Bochum

Starlight Express in Bochum perfectly demonstrates the crucial importance of quality for success: For over 35 years, the musical has been performed here.

The highest standards are met not only on stage, but also with the flooring in front of it – with ANKER's AERA CUT. The Starlight Express Hall is special in multiple ways: in record time, a building was created specifically to host a single show – a first of its kind. Simultaneously, the architect and engineer Heinz-W. Pack designed the structure to allow for alternative use as a conference center. Besides the classic entrance area with adjacent rooms, the main hall consists of a 1,100 m² stage and a 2,500 m² auditorium with around 1,650 seats, with the musical’s characteristic roller-skating tracks running through the orchestra rows.
