Basel Theatre

When it comes to plays and musical theatre, the Basel Theatre pays as much attention to nurturing classical and traditional works as it does to presenting contemporary dramas and modern musical theatre. Original performances as well as German-language and Swiss premieres make for a diverse and exciting schedule.

Space is also provided for experimental projects of all genres as well as for promoting the next generation. Theatre with local anchoring and national appeal, lively, secretive, conscious of tradition and yet innovative.
