Ein sehr gelungenes Geschenk, der Abend war sehr schön, das Prima Streichquartett hat wunderschön gespielt. Tolle und passende Liedauswahl. Einziger Kritikpunkt, einen kleinen Kerzenständer mit echten Kerzen auf der Bühne wäre doch noch schöner gewesen - es war zwar schon sehr schön mit den Kernen, hätte es nur nochmal mehr überboten :)
About the venueBrückstraße 66

The Schauburg, built in 1912, is one of the first permanent cinemas. In 1944, the building was almost completely destroyed in an air raid, but was quickly rebuilt and was provisionally reopened as the first cinema in Dortmund in the summer of 1945.
