Theater Bonn

In the 19th century, the citizens of Bonn built their first own theatre, which was intended to make an independent contribution to their education in the arts. Similar reasons motivated the spa town of Bad Godesberg, which was still under its own administration in those days, to create a venue that initially hosted guest performances and later housed a company of its own. Today, the municipal theatre, which includes several different artistic genres and employs around 500 people, makes a significant contribution to the cultural life of the city and its surrounding region. In addition to numerous productions of the theatre’s opera and drama branches, the event series Highlights des Inernationalen Tanzes and Quatsch keine Oper are firmly established in its programme.
