CORONAVIRUS: NO PROGRAMME UNTIL APRIL 19TH

Dear Ladies and Gentlemen, the crisis management team of the city of Bochum has decided that for the time being no more events will be held until April 19, 2020. This also applies to events with less than 100 participants. For the Schauspielhaus Bochum this will mean that all performances will have to be postponed, even some performance dates beyond April 19. We will inform you about alternative performance dates within the next weeks.

Visitors who are affected by the performance cancellations can rebook to a substitute performance free of charge, exchange their tickets for a voucher or cancel them. Subscribers will receive a replacement token, which can also be used in the next season until November 30, 2020. We will contact affected fixed subscribers individually as soon as new information becomes available. If the tickets have been purchased through an external advance booking office, please contact this office.

Our staff at the box office and the subscription office are available by telephone and e-mail to answer questions. In order to provide you with the best possible service and to minimise waiting times, we ask our visitors to inform us in writing their requests. The box office in the foyer of the Schauspielhaus and the subscription office are currently closed to visitors.
