Åbo Svenska Teater, Protected Swedish theatre in Turku, Finland.
The Swedish Theatre features a main stage with 365 seats arranged across two levels and a studio stage accommodating 136 spectators.
The theatre opened its doors in 1839 following the Great Fire of Turku, with its first performance being the play Gubben i Bergsbygden.
The institution maintains Swedish-language performances through plays, music theatre, and seasonal productions that reflect Finnish and Swedish cultural elements.
Located at Eerikinkatu 13-17, the theatre presents regular productions including family shows, contemporary dramas, and musical performances throughout the year.
Designed by architect Pehr Johan Gylich, this oldest operating theatre building in Finland maintains three distinct performance spaces: Stora Scenen, Studioscenen, and Tiljan-scenen.
