About Theater Basel
Theater Basel is the largest three-division theatre in Switzerland. Located in the tri-national metropolitan region, it offers an equally varied and ambitious programme of opera, drama and ballet. Since the 2022/2023 season, it has been home to the Theater Public, including the Foyer Public, a public space for everyone in the middle of the theatre.
