A fact from Theater des Westens appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 17 February 2012 (check views). The text of the entry was as follows:

Did you know... that Berlin's Theater des Westens (pictured) was the stage for Diaghilev's Ballets Russes with Anna Pavlova, the premiere of Henze's opera König Hirsch, and the premiere in German of My Fair Lady?

A record of the entry may be seen at Wikipedia:Recent additions/2012/February. The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Theater des Westens.

Berlin Volksoper

I believe that the theatre was at one time refered to as the Volksoper Berlin in German, and that many English language references refer to the theatre as the Berlin Volksoper. There are a number of english language wikipedia articles which refer to the Berlin Volksoper so this might be both a good thing to mention in the article and a good redirect to make.4meter4 (talk) 15:52, 3 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

On a side note, thank you Gerda for this article.4meter4 (talk) 15:53, 3 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Dr. Blofeld created it. It was for a while (after the war) Städtische Oper Berlin, again a different Theater, to my knowledge, the redirect exists. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 17:49, 3 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Volksoper Berlin also, in the 1930s, --Gerda Arendt (talk) 17:54, 3 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
