Osaka Shochiku-za Theatre

Theater

4.0

This theater is located in 1-Chome Dotonbori. Modeled after the Teatro alla Scala in Milan, the theater was opened as the first Western-style theater in the Kansai region in 1923. The theater's impressive front entrance sports a grand Neo-Renaissance-style arch. The theater's European-style entrance is on the first floor; concessions and sofas are positioned around the second floor lobby, and floors three through five are for audience seating. In 1997, facilities were upgraded and added while leaving the front entrance in its original condition. The theater hosts kabuki, shinpa, and Shochiku Shinkigeki plays as well as reviews, musicals, concerts, and more.
