Your visit
News
Due to the energy crisis, as a municipal institution we are required to reduce the temperature in our venues to 19 degrees. Please bear this in mind when choosing your clothing when you come to the theatre. It is advisable to take a cardigan, jumper or scarf with you into the auditorium.
We hope for your understanding and look forward to welcoming you with us.
Current hygiene regulations
- There is currently no obligation to wear mouth-nose protection at events of the Theater und Orchester Heidelberg. Nevertheless, we strongly recommend that you continue to use mouth-nose protection indoors.
- How are you? If you yourself have symptoms of a respiratory infection or a raised temperature, or if you are in contact with a person infected with SARS-CoV-2, we ask that you recuperate at home - unfortunately, you will not be allowed to attend our performances.
We will inform you about changes to the applicable regulations here as well as via our publications and the theatre box office.
Guided tours
Visitors can expect an exciting look behind the scenes of the theatre: once a month, the Theater und Orchester Heidelberg offers a public guided tour. The tour costs €5 (€3 reduced) per person and lasts one hour.
Groups of 10 or more people or 5th graders and above can make an individual appointment for a guided tour. This is only possible in conjunction with a performance.
Theatre buses
Since 2012, the Theater und Orchester Heidelberg has been offering a special service: the theatre bus. It takes you from the surrounding area to the Heidelberg Theatre – in a relaxed way and without the hassle of looking for a parking space.
The dates for trips in the current season are announced here and sent to all registered interested parties.
Tickets can be ordered from the Theater und Orchester Heidelberg, Service for Group Offers, and will be sent conveniently to your home together with the invoice.
On the journey you can expect an introduction to the play in question, which our dramaturges have recorded exclusively for you in advance on CD.
You will be informed of the departure times before the respective performance.
