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 guided 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 for you in advance.
You will be informed of the departure times before the respective performance.
Heidelberger Schlossfestspiele
The theatre bus will be travelling to the opera »Carmen« in the castle courtyard on 8 July and 22 July 2025. Further information can be found on the Schlossfestspiele website.

Crown your evening at the theatre with that certain something! In the 2025/26 season, you will have the opportunity again to sample perfectly matched wines from the Adam Müller winery at three different performances to accompany your visit to the theatre.
The winemakers will accompany you during the tasting before the performance and during the interval. You will also learn interesting facts about the wines and the upcoming production (in German language).
