What is on the stage

The venue is widely known for hosting high-quality musical theatre, ranging from local classics to international hits. You can often find a variety of performances including magic shows, contemporary dance, and stand-up comedy throughout the year. Most productions run for several weeks, providing plenty of opportunities to catch a performance during your stay.

Getting your tickets

It is usually best to book your seats online in advance to ensure you get a good view, as popular weekend shows can sell out quickly. You can also visit the box office directly, which typically opens 2 hours before the first performance of the day begins. Since schedules and prices change depending on the production, you should check the official website for current opening times and ticket availability.

Your time inside the venue

Inside, you will find a spacious auditorium with a capacity of 1,134 seats, ensuring a lively atmosphere during every performance. The theatre is equipped with a bar service where you can grab a drink or a snack during the 15-minute or 20-minute intervals typical of longer shows. The seating is arranged to provide good visibility from most angles, though the central stalls are often preferred for the best sound quality.
