...and ticket booth, etc. It could be victorian or not (or somewhere in the middle so you could go either way - even back to the 1700's). There could be lots of accessories... it could be a movie theater or an opera or West Side Story, you know? They could even put a light behind a screen so you can arrange klickies to look like it's a scene in a movie but maybe that's pushing things (can't you just see Bella and Edward with Jacob the wolf walking up? Hahaha)! People could have all kinds of fun recreating famous scenes like Lincoln's assassination or A Night at the Opera (Marx bros) or all kinds of bizarre customizable scenes. Imagine the stop-motion fun?!

That was the first thing that came to my mind! Your opera house still leaves me absolutely speechless, Daniela.

It would be cool to see an officially produced set, though of course they couldn't come anywhere close to Daniela's without it costing thousands! Still, a very small scale one could be fun, for putting on various productions. There was a little theater in the playmobil pirate movie, where the kids sit down and watch the history of the island. And of course there's the puppet theater, but that's too small to do a lot with, and doesn't have ticket booth, backstage, etc.

they would probably make a very small one

OH MY GOD!!! Oh my god oh my god oh my god oh my god!!!!!!! I just.... I just.... how the... SERIOUSLY??!!! This one's close to my heart - I love the opera - and I don't even love the non-3666 castles but holy cow this is amaaaaaazing! Is it La Boheme? Was that a river underneath? I couldn't see up close there (did I miss a close-up page?) but from afar it looked like maybe the phantom's going for a ride underneath? Thought I saw a boat... The time you must have taken to do this and work out every tiny detail blows my mind - I just cannot get over this! Yes I know there are Playmobil people out there who do stuff like this - whole villages and kingdoms and they blow my mind too but I just adore how you got it down so perfectly - all the exact rooms they have backstage and the main entry area with the champagne and everything. All that detail in every last corner. Just fabulous. TWO THUMBS UP. Hahaha - like you needed me to tell you it's good!

Oh well yeah it wouldn't come close to Daniella's in size but they could have add-ons. The could have just the stage and audience area (simple part of back stage and the entry hall with ticket booth) and you could add on from there maybe? I mean kids would probably love to play with just the audience and stage. That would be so neat if they did something like the Vintage Fisher price school house and put a chalk board above so you could change the name of the play - or have a set of magnetic letters that could be arranged how you want. Can't you just see the bidding on extra letters on ebay already?

Playmobil's so good with strings and ropes and such... I could totally imagine a way to pull open the drapes and then attach the ropes by winding them around something just like they do with the castles.

Glad you like it, Theresse!

To answer your questions:

Yes, it´s La Boheme on stage.

And the Phantom of the Opera lives under the theater. There should be a close up of the boat.

It took me 6 years, to build this theater. I was always an opera lover and I wanted to have my own theater so badly.
I am proud to say, we had famous singers like The 3 Tenors or Neil Shicoff or Sir Thomas Allen on stage.

I still love it and sometimes, I must do more performances.
So much ideas, but never enough time...

Thanks again for your amazing comment and have a nice day!

yeah, i'd love to see one released, even if it's not that big (add-ons would indeed help expand it)

yours is amazing, Daniela!

Daniella I've since seen the close-ups! At first - when I saw real people (real photographs) I thought that was the end of the line and other types of photos were mixed in with the opera house...I didn't realize you were showing photos of the klickies that represented them! So I went back to look some more and found WAY MORE AMAZING PICS!!

I'm proud of myself for guessing that was La Boheme from a distance, in that case!

I was in that opera when I was a kid (as well as Faust) and know that set well (large windows, the bed, etc)! I also didn't see the close-up of the phantom until going back as well. I forwarded your pics to several people who would love it too - including my opera-loving family!
