Theater 11

Theater 11 is a performance venue in Oerlikon with 1500 seats featuring distinctive red decor throughout the carpeting, chairs, and stage curtain. The building sits next to Messe Zürich and includes a restaurant and bar area that can accommodate 300 guests alongside the main auditorium.

The venue reopened in 2006 following extensive renovations and launched with the Swiss premiere of the musical We Will Rock You. Since then it has established itself as a major destination for musical theater productions in the city.

The venue serves as a hub for musical theater and dance productions that draw both local and international audiences. The space hosts a steady stream of performances that shape the cultural rhythm of the district.

The location sits directly beside Messe Zürich and is easily reached by tram line 11 from Zürich main station. The building includes on-site dining and bar options, making it convenient to arrive early or stay after performances.

The interior was deliberately designed in red throughout, giving the space a distinctive visual identity that sets it apart from other venues. This color choice creates a memorable first impression that shapes the visitor experience from the moment they enter.
