Current
A new beginning: In its first season as a new artistic team, Ballet Basel would like to introduce itself to local audiences in its current form. The collective of Marco Goecke, Nadja Kadel, and Ludovico Pace is focusing on both continuity and renewal in its programming. The company, consisting of 26 permanently engaged dancers of international origin, will once again be given the signature of a resident choreographer. Marco Goecke, as the creative mind, will design three evenings with his unique choreographic signature, which we will present in both full-length works and in his varied and renowned short pieces. A special highlight is “The Nutcracker,” the veritable world premiere of the season. By deliberately showcasing the works of other artists, including young artists, we remain open to outside perspectives. We would also like to cordially invite you to all of our educational offerings accompanying the premieres. Ballett Basel sees itself as a vibrant center for contemporary dance and provides a platform for open artistic exchange in a family atmosphere.
We invite you to join us on this exciting journey—one marked by passion, artistic diversity, and a deep belief in the transformative power of movement. We hope that this change will not only pave new paths, but also strengthen enthusiasm for art and dance in Basel and beyond. We look forward to seeing you!

Premieres 25/26
Ballet Theater Basel invites you to attend a training session Gain insight into the daily work of the ballet company: observe the dancers of Ballet Theater Basel during their daily training and get a close-up view of their «athletic» start to the day. This is not only to warm up the muscles for the rehearsal day that follows, but is also essential for maintaining fitness, technical skill, and preventing injuries. It also gives an impression of how much discipline, constant work, passion, and joy there is in dance. Please book your free tickets via the ticket shop.
Ein besonderer Start in den Tag
When Theater Basel awakens, the ballet studio opens its doors for a very special start to Tuesday mornings. Before rehearsals and training for the ballet ensemble begin, we invite everyone over the age of 60 to come and get moving together.
In a three-part pilot series, we welcome the day with dance, music, and inspiring ideas. Under the guidance of Andrea Frei, dance educator at Ballet Basel, we explore dance movements and choreographic ideas based on “The Nutcracker” by resident choreographer Marco Goecke.
No previous experience is necessary—a love of movement and curiosity are all you need.
Come along and give your morning a boost of energy!
