Düsseldorfer Schauspielhaus

The Düsseldorfer Schauspielhaus is a theatre in the heart of Düsseldorf, with architecture and performance at its centre. The venue presents plays, concerts and cultural events.

Its repertoire connects works by William Shakespeare and Friedrich Schiller with contemporary writing by Boris Vian and Ferdinand von Schirach. Classical and contemporary works share the theatre’s varied programme.

The venue includes the Großes Haus and Kleines Haus, two named spaces for different theatrical experiences. Junges Schauspiel presents theatre for children and teenagers.

Its productions adapt classic tales and introduce new stories for younger audiences. Festival collaborations bring distinctive performances to the stage.

The theatre has worked with the Asphalt Festival, including Florentina Holzinger’s Ophelia’s Got Talent. Accessibility appears in the theatre’s surtitled and relaxed performances.

These formats support diverse audiences alongside the venue’s wheelchair-accessible facilities. Workshops and dramatic productions extend the programme beyond individual performances.

The Düsseldorfer Schauspielhaus places varied theatre at the centre of Düsseldorf’s cultural life.
