The Theater des Westens ( Theatre of the West ) is one of the most famous theatres for musicals and operettas in Berlin , Germany , located at Kantstraße [ de ] 10-12 in Charlottenburg . It was founded in 1895 for plays . The present house was opened in 1896 and dedicated to opera and operetta . Enrico Caruso made his debut in Berlin here , and the Ballets Russes appeared with Anna Pavlova . In the 1930s it was run as the Volkstheater Berlin . After World War II it served as the temporary opera house of Berlin , the Städtische Oper ( Municipal Opera ) . In 1961 it became the first theatre in Germany to show musicals . Since then it has become the German equivalent of Broadway extravaganzas , putting on plays and musical comedies .
West Berlin ( German : Berlin ( West ) or colloquially West-Berlin ) was a political enclave which comprised the western part of Berlin during the years of the Cold War . There was no specific date on which the sectors of Berlin occupied by the Western Allies became West Berlin , but 1949 is widely accepted as the year in which the name was adopted . West Berlin aligned itself politically with the Federal Republic of Germany ( called the Bonn Republic by historians ) and was directly or indirectly represented in its federal institutions . West Berlin was formally controlled by the Western Allies and was entirely surrounded by the Soviet-controlled East Berlin and East Germany . West Berlin had great symbolic significance during the Cold War , as it was widely considered by westerners as an island of freedom . It was heavily subsidised by West Germany as a showcase of the West . A wealthy city , West Berlin was noted for its distinctly cosmopolitan character , and as a centre of education , research and culture . With about two million inhabitants , West Berlin had the largest population of any city in Germany during the Cold War era . West Berlin was 100 miles ( 161 kilometres ) east and north of the Inner German border and only accessible by land from West Germany by narrow rail and highway corridors . It consisted of the American , British , and French occupation sectors established in 1945 . The Berlin Wall , built in 1961 , physically separated West Berlin from its East Berlin and East German surroundings until it fell in 1989 . On 3 October 1990 , the day Germany was officially reunified , East and West Berlin formally reunited as the city of Berlin .

Its eponymous main hall may seat up to 1,905 people , while the smaller Comédie and Studio des Champs-Élysées above the latter may seat 601 and 230 people respectively . Commissionned by impresario Gabriel Astruc , the theatre was built from 1911 to 1913 upon the designs of brothers Auguste Perret and Gustave Perret following a scheme by Henry van de Velde , and became the first example of Art Deco architecture in the city . Less than two months after its inauguration , the Théâtre hosted the world premiere of the Ballets Russes ' Rite of Spring , which provoked one of the most famous classical music riots . At present , the theatre shows about three staged opera productions a year , mostly baroque or chamber works more suited to the modest size of its stage and orchestra pit . It also houses an important concert season . It is the home venue of the Orchestre National de France and the Orchestre Lamoureux , and serves as a French base for the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra as well .

He achieved his greatest fame after he turned 50 : Perhaps it is a pity that my success came so late in life , he told the Los Angeles Times .

Glasgow is situated on the River Clyde in the country 's West Central Lowlands . It is the fifth most visited city in the UK . Inhabitants of the city are referred to as Glaswegians or , informally , as Weegies . Glasgow is also known for the Glasgow patter , a distinct dialect of the Scots language that is noted for being difficult to understand by those from outside the city . Glasgow grew from a small rural settlement on the River Clyde to become the largest seaport in Scotland , and tenth largest by tonnage in Britain . Expanding from the medieval bishopric and royal burgh , and the later establishment of the University of Glasgow in the fifteenth century , it became a major centre of the Scottish Enlightenment in the eighteenth century . From the eighteenth century onwards , the city also grew as one of Great Britain 's main hubs of transatlantic trade with North America and the West Indies . With the onset of the Industrial Revolution , the population and economy of Glasgow and the surrounding region expanded rapidly to become one of the world 's pre-eminent centres of chemicals , textiles and engineering ; most notably in the shipbuilding and marine engineering industry , which produced many innovative and famous vessels . Glasgow was the Second City of the British Empire for much of the Victorian era and Edwardian period , although many cities argue the title was theirs . In the late 19th and early 20th centuries , Glasgow 's population grew rapidly , reaching a peak of 1,127,825 people in 1938 .

Berlin Tempelhof Airport ( German : Flughafen Berlin-Tempelhof ) ( IATA : THF , ICAO : EDDI ) was one of the first airports in Berlin , Germany . Situated in the south-central Berlin borough of Tempelhof-Schöneberg , the airport ceased operating in 2008 amid controversy , leaving Tegel and Schönefeld as the two main airports serving the city , with the new Berlin Brandenburg Airport still under construction as of 2020 . Tempelhof was designated as an airport by the Reich Ministry of Transport on 8 October 1923 . The old terminal was originally constructed in 1927 . In anticipation of increasing air traffic , the Nazi government began a massive reconstruction in the mid-1930s . While it was occasionally cited as the world 's oldest operating commercial airport , the title was disputed by several other airports , and is no longer an issue since its closure . Tempelhof was one of Europe 's three iconic pre-World War II airports , the others being London 's now defunct Croydon Airport and the old Paris-Le Bourget Airport . It acquired a further iconic status as the centre of the Berlin Airlift of 1948-49 . One of the airport 's most distinctive features is its massive , canopy-style roof extending over the apron , able to accommodate most contemporary airliners in the 1950s , 1960s and early 1970s , protecting passengers from the elements . Tempelhof Airport 's main building was once among the top 20 largest buildings on earth ; in contrast , it formerly had the world 's smallest duty-free shop . Tempelhof Airport closed all operations on 30 October 2008 , despite the efforts of some protesters to prevent the closure . A non-binding referendum was held on 27 April 2008 against the impending closure but failed due to low voter turnout .

The Old Vic is a 1,000-seat , not-for-profit producing theatre , located just south-east of Waterloo station on the corner of the Cut and Waterloo Road in Lambeth , London , England . Established in 1818 as the Royal Coburg Theatre , and renamed in 1833 the Royal Victoria Theatre , in 1871 it was rebuilt and reopened as the Royal Victoria Palace . It was taken over by Emma Cons in 1880 and formally named the Royal Victoria Hall , although by that time it was already known as the Old Vic . In 1898 , a niece of Cons ' , Lilian Baylis , assumed management and began a series of Shakespeare productions in 1914 . The building was damaged in 1940 during air raids and it became a Grade II* listed building in 1951 after it reopened . The Old Vic is the crucible of many of the performing arts companies and theatres in London today . It was the name of a repertory company that was based at the theatre and formed ( along with the Chichester Festival Theatre ) the core of the National Theatre of Great Britain on its formation in 1963 , under Laurence Olivier . The National Theatre remained at the Old Vic until new premises were constructed on the South Bank , opening in 1976 . The Old Vic then became the home of Prospect Theatre Company , at that time a highly successful touring company which staged such acclaimed productions as Derek Jacobi 's Hamlet . However , with the withdrawal of funding for the company by the Arts Council of Great Britain in 1980 for breaching its touring obligations , Prospect disbanded in 1981 . The theatre underwent complete refurbishment in 1985 . In 2003 , Kevin Spacey was appointed artistic director , which received considerable media attention .

A general Warsaw Uprising between August and October 1944 led to even greater devastation and systematic razing by the Germans in advance of the Vistula-Oder Offensive . Warsaw gained the new title of Phoenix City because of its extensive history and complete reconstruction after World War II , which had left over 85% of its buildings in ruins .
