Stadttheater Schaffhausen
Stadttheater Schaffhausen, Municipal theater in Schaffhausen, Switzerland
Stadttheater Schaffhausen is a performance venue in the city of Schaffhausen with an audience hall seating around 687 people and known for good acoustics throughout. The hall was designed so that sound carries evenly and pleasantly to every seat.
The theater was founded in 1867 by merchant Johann Conrad Im Thurn and was meant to unite music, art, and education. After closing in 1952, it underwent complete reconstruction in 1956 while preserving its acoustic qualities.
The theater serves as a gathering place for drama, musical theater, and dance performances running from September through June. It shapes how locals experience and engage with the arts throughout the year.
The theater handles ticket sales and season subscriptions through its office, which can explain all details about availability. Plan your visit outside the December holiday period when the house closes for about ten days.
The 1956 reconstruction paid special attention to restoring the original acoustic character of the hall. This means visitors today experience the 19th-century sound qualities of a theater rebuilt with mid-20th-century techniques.
