Stadthalle Alsdorf

Coal made Alsdorf. The Anna mine worked here until the end of the Aachen coalfield, and the town that grew around it acquired civic amenities on a scale its population alone would not have justified. The Stadthalle is one of them, and it has proved an unusually durable touring stop: "Die Nacht der 5 Tenöre", an operatic gala on the road for years, has returned to it season after season to an audience that evidently keeps coming back. The Stadthalle Alsdorf is a performance and events venue on Annastraße, operated by FreizeitObjekte Gesellschaft Alsdorf.
