Every summer since 1991 the Open Air Theatre Company of Ballenberg has put on theatrical pieces in the Open Air Museum. These productions are carefully planned and produced in collaboration with the museum. The area of land on which the theatre is erected  changes according to the theme of the selected piece. The covered stands can seat around 750 visitors.

TELL OPEN AIR PLAYS IN INTERLAKEN

Since 1912 Friedrich Schiller’s drama has been performed in Rugen bei Matten. In an unbroken run interrupted only during the two World Wars, this Upper Bern success story has been part of our cultural heritage for over 100 years. No work in literary history has been so influential on the culture of the Swiss people as ‘Wilhelm Tell’ and no other stage is able to evoke Swiss history with the same authenticity as the Interlaken Tellspiele. More than 2 million visitors have already enjoyed the spectacular scenery of this very special theatre!

Every year from the start of July until the end of August
