Contract signed for construction of new musical theatre in Poznań
The Musical Theatre in Poznań has signed a contract with Dekpol Budownictwo sp. z o.o. for the construction of a new musical theatre building in the city centre. The agreement was signed by Przemysław Kieliszewski, Director of the Musical Theatre, and Dekpol Budownictwo’s representatives, President Mariusz Niewiadomski and Management Board Member Jacek Hnatiuk.
The planned facility, located at the intersection of Św. Marcin and Skośna streets, is set to become the largest musical theatre in Poland. It will include a main stage with a seating capacity of nearly 1,200, a chamber hall for approximately 300 spectators, a restaurant with a banquet hall, a recording studio, and an open foyer. Additionally, the development will feature a Water and Music Park designed to introduce ecological elements into the urban landscape.
The project is intended to provide a multifunctional space accessible to a wide range of users, including those with special needs. According to Director Kieliszewski, the new theatre is planned as a technologically advanced and functional venue aimed at supporting both cultural activities and broader community use.
Dekpol Budownictwo will also prepare an alternative design concept, construction plans based on the Functional and Utility Programme, and detailed designs using BIM technology.
The ceremonial handover of the construction site and the presentation of the work schedule are scheduled for 28 June. Further information about the event will be released in early June.
The project is co-financed by the City of Poznań, the Minister of Culture and National Heritage, and Poznań County. The basic contract value amounts to nearly PLN 375 million gross, with additional options, including the construction of the Water and Music Park, bringing the total potential value to approximately PLN 491 million gross.
