About us
Your event between stage, foyer and theatre experience
Beyond our regular performances, we hire out our facilities subject to availability. Use a stage or the foyer exclusively for your event. The Grand Stage offers seating for up to 870 people in the auditorium and is suitable for talks or staff briefings, for example. The Small Stage has its own foyer, a bar, cloakroom and separate entrance. The Playhouse is within walking distance of the main building and connects its auditorium with a foyer across several floors.
In the large foyer, you have access to three floors with several bars, cloakrooms, projector and screen as well as versatile lighting options. Aperitifs, parties, formal dinners, lectures, general assemblies and conferences are all possible here. Our professional event technology and in-house gastronomy support your planning. Free WiFi, accessibility and the central location with approximately seven minutes' walk to the railway station make it easy for your guests to visit. We are happy to advise you individually and will provide room plans on request.

Toujours des mises en scène remarquables. La saison 26-27 commence fort : après Moses und Aron, à ne pas rater l’ascension à l’église pour If I Do Not Return. Vive les nattes !
Ein tolles Haus mit super Programm. Konzert, modernes Ballett und Tanz.
Es un teatro muy moderno
Nachdem das alte Theater zu Beginn des 20. Jahrhunderts einem Brand zum Opfer gefallen war, hatte man das hier befindliche ehemalige Steinen-Schulhaus abgebrochen, um neben der säkularisierten Kirche St. Elisabethen das neue moderne drei-Sparten Theater Basel im Jahr 1975 zu eröffnen. Es bietet heutzutage Oper, Schauspiel und Ballett und hat derzeit im heissen August 2026 Sommerpause. Im September bis Juni werden wieder die drei Bühnen bespielt, die kleine und die große Bühne und das Schauspielhaus - pro Spielzeit mit ca. 40 Neuproduktionen zieht das Theater die Besucher aus nah- und fern an und begeistern uns! So erhielt das Haus für seine Opern bereits Auszeichnungen, auch für seinen Chor. Zu Fuß erreichbar in ca 8-15 Gehminuten - je nach Gehgeschwindigkeit - vom Bahnhof SBB aus oder mit der Tram von der Haltestelle Bankverein in wenigen Schritten erreichbar, wenn man nicht eine Tiefgarage mit dem PKW nutzt.
