2 Best Performing Arts Venues in The Rhineland, Germany

The Schauspielhaus is home to the 20 or so private theater companies in the city. Until its main space on Offenbachplatz reopens in 2024 after a major renovation, productions take place at an industrial space ( Carlswerk, Schanzenstrasse 6–20) in the Mülheim neighborhood. There are occasional productions with English subtitles.

Built in 1787, this gorgeous neoclassic theater is still in regular use and has resident drama, ballet, and musical theater ensembles ranging from classic to contemporary.
