Shortly before Christmas Eve, we invite you to a festive Christmas concert. Together with soloists from the opera ensemble and the choir and extra choir of Theater Basel, we celebrate the festive season. The audience is also invited to sing along to Christmas evergreens. With elements from various productions, the Grosse Bühne is transformed into a fairytale theatre world. Thomas Wise, musical director of the opera division, plays, conducts and leads through the programme himself.
