Theatre

The City of Schweinfurt Theatre was completed in 1966 and opened on 1 December with “The Wedding of Figaro” in a performance by the Bavarian State Opera Munich.

The planner and builder of the establishment was Professor Dr. Erich Schelling, who particularly set architectural highlights in Karlsruhe and Strasburg in addition to Schweinfurt. After over 30 years, a sweeping modernisation and refurbishment was carried out, and was able to be concluded in February 2002. The 40-year anniversary of the establishment will be celebrated on 1 December 2006 with the musical “Les Misérables”. The theatre is operated as a pure exemplary theatre of the highest level without a permanent ensemble, and is a cultural attraction for the city as well as the Lower Franconia region. The Schweinfurt “theatre model” thrives due to the support of the city and the popular public response.

Here one can see concerts just as well as operas, operettas, musicals, plays, ballet and dance performances ¯ and last but not least, children’s and youth theatre. Large-scale stage productions as well as well-known actors were and are hosted in Schweinfurt. About 150 performances – including those on loan – are rendered per theatre season.
