Savoy Theatre
About

Savoy Theatre in Helsinki is a historic and versatile cultural venue located at the corner of Eteläesplanadi and Kasarmikatu, originally opened in 1937 as a cinema designed by architects Bertel and Valter Jung with influences from Germany, Austria, and Radio City Music Hall in New York. The theatre’s 845-seat auditorium was renowned for its stylish lighting, custom-made by Iittala, and its innovative stage and curtain arrangements. Over the decades, Savoy Theatre evolved from a premier cinema—hosting everything from Hollywood films to Cinerama screenings—into a key venue for concerts, live performances, and theatre, with a current capacity of around 700 seats. Today, Savoy Theatre is especially known for its world music concerts, guest performances, and diverse cultural events, welcoming over 200 groups and performers from around the globe each year. Its central location, rich history, and vibrant programming make it a must-visit for anyone interested in Helsinki’s performing arts scene.
