Experience André de Ridder live on October 5th

André de Ridder will perform at Theater Basel on October 5, 2026. De Ridder is a Dutch conductor known for his work bridging classical music with contemporary and electronic genres. His performances frequently incorporate improvisation and explore the boundaries between orchestral sound and elements of club culture, often collaborating with electronic musicians and visual artists. He’s recognized for championing new music and creating immersive concert experiences.

Theater Basel comprises three venues: Theater, Concert Hall and Stage in the Spalentor. The institution originated from two separate entities – the Stadttheater Basel (founded 1832) and the Basler Konzerthaus (founded 1877). These were formally merged in 1994 to form Theater Basel, operating under a single directorate.

The Theater building itself, located on Theaterplatz, underwent extensive renovations completed in 2011, modernizing its facilities while preserving its historical architectural features dating back to the mid-19th century. It serves as a prominent cultural hub in Basel, hosting opera, ballet, drama, and concert performances. The venue is known for its acoustics and adaptable stage configurations allowing for diverse productions.
