The Bern Theatre stands as a performance center with multiple stages that present opera, ballet, drama, and orchestral concerts throughout the year.
Architect Rudolf von Wurstemberger designed this cultural institution, which opened its doors on January 1, 1903, marking a new era for Swiss performing arts.
The venue maintains four distinct departments: Bern Symphony Orchestra, opera productions, theatrical performances, and dance performances, offering over 400 shows annually.
The theater operates from late August through July, presenting performances in German with regular introductory sessions before shows.
