The [German] Stadttheater is currently being renovated. The box balustrates, the wall and ceiling ornamentation, curtain, etc. will present themselves in green and gold now. The lighting is improved, and almost a hundred flames were added. There are more seats in the first balcony and parterre. Additional improvements were made on stage as well. The interior of the theater will be much more pleasant and friendly than it used to be.
