André de Ridder will perform at Theater Basel on October 3, 2026. De Ridder is a Dutch conductor known for his work bridging classical music with contemporary and electronic influences. His performances frequently incorporate improvisation and explore the boundaries between genres, often featuring collaborations with artists from diverse musical backgrounds – including rock, jazz, and electronic music scenes – alongside traditional orchestral instrumentation. He frequently commissions new works and champions innovative approaches to concert programming.

Theater Basel comprises three venues: Theater, Concert Hall and Stage in the Park. The main building, officially opened in 1913, represents a significant example of early 20th-century architectural design, initially constructed as a unified space for opera, ballet, drama and concerts. Throughout its history, the Theater has undergone several renovations while retaining key elements of its original Art Nouveau style. It serves as the largest theatre complex in Switzerland and is home to Basel Ballet and the Basel Sinfonietta orchestra; both regularly perform within its walls. The institution’s programming encompasses a broad range of performing arts including opera, ballet, drama, concerts and contemporary dance productions.
