The Kulturstelle organizes discounted tickets for you in various cultural venues all over Zurich.
The Schauspielhaus Pfauen has existed since 1888/89 and was strongly influenced by artists in exile in the mid-20th century. Plays by Brecht, Frisch and Dürrenmatt premiered on its stage. Most of the plays are in German.
The Millers in Seefeld is small but very versatile. Its stage regularly offers everything from poetry slam to cabaret, from readings to improv theatre and from music to British comedy – the latter especially interesting for non-German speakers. It’s worth going again and again.
The Kunsthaus Zürich houses one of Switzerland’s most significant art collections, with works from the 13th century to the present day. Since 2021, an extension by the architect David Chipperfield has complemented the building, and diverse exhibitions regularly add something new. The collection is free for everyone on Wednesdays, and students get reduced admission. The Kulturstelle occasionally organizes guided tours through the collection or exhibitions.
Founded in 1966 as an alternative to the established Schauspielhaus, the Theater Neumarkt is still the young rebel among Zurich’s theatres. Praise for its plays and productions (Urs Widmer’s “Top Dogs”, for example, premiered here in 1996) has always alternated with controversy and calls for its closure. Even so, most of its plays are not cheap provocations but pointed, humorous and entertaining comments on our times. Most of the plays are in German.
The Opernhaus Zürich is located right on Sechseläutenplatz by Lake Zurich. It is home to both the opera and the ballet, whose renowned productions shape cultural life in Zurich and beyond. We are happy to have a cooperation that allows us to bring students to about two performances per month at very good prices.
Founded in 1996, the Tanzhaus Zürich is a hospitable institution for dance, choreography and performance offering a stable base for artists and a contact point for all lovers of dance and movement.
The Tonhalle Orchestra Zurich is one of Europe’s leading orchestras. Since 2021 it has been playing again in the renovated Tonhalle by the lake. With internationally renowned conductors, it presents around a hundred concerts per season with a wide range of programs.
