Schauspielhaus Zürich, Theatre company in District 7, Switzerland
Schauspielhaus Zürich operates from three performance spaces: the main Pfauen stage and two additional theaters within the Schiffbau complex. These venues accommodate different scales and styles of productions.
The building began as Volkstheater am Pfauen in 1892, shifting from a music hall with beer garden to a theater venue in 1901. This change marked its emergence as a dedicated performance space.
The theater presents spoken performances, dance pieces, and installations that combine classical plays alongside contemporary creations.
English surtitles are available during performances to help international visitors follow the action. Ticket prices are reduced on Mondays across all venues and shows.
During the 1930s, the stage became a refuge for artists fleeing Nazi Germany and premiered works by Bertolt Brecht. This history makes it an important witness to cultural resistance during that era.
