Alhambra, Concert hall and movie theater in Genève-Cité, Switzerland
Alhambra is a concert hall and cinema located in Geneva's old town on Rue de la Rôtisserie in central Switzerland. The venue serves multiple purposes, hosting live music performances and film screenings organized by external promoters.
The building was established in 1920 and was later designated as a class B Swiss cultural property of regional importance. This classification reflects its significance in Geneva's 20th-century cultural development.
Today it is known as a concert venue where musicians perform throughout the year, playing a central role in Geneva's live music scene. The interior reflects its dual purpose, with spaces adapted for both performances and film screenings.
The venue is available for rental by external organizers for concerts, film festivals, and other cultural events, as it does not operate its own regular program. Check local event listings before visiting to confirm which activities are scheduled.
The venue combines two entirely different functions in one space: a stage for live music and screening rooms for cinema. This dual purpose was uncommon when the building opened and distinguishes it today as a hybrid cultural space.
