Gifts for Christmas and New Year's Eve

Silent night? No way.

Together, we bring excitement to the Advent and Christmas season. Whether it's our free Advent calendar, our Christmas carols, our family day, or a performance between Christmas and New Year's Eve, experience a whole panorama of extraordinary theatrical moments. Sometimes contemplative, sometimes lively, but always with a lot of heart. Of course, the New Year's Concert and our big New Year's Eve party are not to be missed, where we celebrate exuberantly to live music and toast the New Year with a glass of champagne.

We hope you enjoy giving and receiving gifts, sharing experiences with each other, and spending time together — at Theater Basel. We look forward to seeing you!
