theater
'das Theater' and 'das Konzerthaus' are both places for cultural events. They can be confused because in both buildings you sit in the audience and watch or listen to a performance. 'Das Theater' is used mainly when talking about plays, drama, opera, or other performing arts. 'Das Konzerthaus' is used when music is the focus, especially concerts. In practical terms: for a play, you go to the theater; for a concert, more likely to the concert hall.
