The decoration of the Regensburg Stadttheater auditorium (Ratisbon 2001)
The reconstruction was carried out between 1998 and 2001 and included new decoration throughout the auditorium. The whole ceiling had to be repainted, as well as the curtain, the proscenium arch and the four tiers of boxes.

Hans Heid’s designs remodelled the whole auditorium, drawing inspiration from the painting of the first tier of boxes dating from around 1850. A few surviving pictorial elements came to light once successive layers of paint had been removed.
All the decorations were painted on canvas in the workshop, then attached in the theatre.
