Schauspielhaus of Zurich


The Schauspielhaus Schiffbau is the second largest theatre of Zurich, just after the Schauspielhaus, Pfauen. The first proposes a programme which often stirs up emotion and revolt among its audience, the second proposes a more classic programme with works by playwrights already made sacred such as Checkjov, Ibsen and Frisch. The first is found a stone’s throw away from the Technopark station, the second is very close to the Kunsthaus.

choreographer. Those who love dance absolutely have to go there! The Opernhaus has a station bearing its name.
