Düsseldorfer Schauspielhaus
Düsseldorfer Schauspielhaus – abbreviated to D’haus – is the largest spoken theatre in North Rhine-Westphalia and is one of the biggest stages in the German-speaking world. The D’haus programme includes theatre works, youth theatre from the Junges Schauspiel and participatory projects by Stadt:Kollektiv.
With its productions and variety of other events, the D’haus addresses the entire society of the city in all its diversity. Its main venue is the Schauspielhaus at Gustaf-Gründgens-Platz. The curved white building designed by the architect Bernhard Pfau is an iconic Düsseldorf landmark. The venue for the Junges Schauspiel is in Düsseldorf-Rath, and the Central rehearsal and production centre is next to the city’s main station, Düsseldorf Hauptbahnhof. The General Artistic Director is Wilfried Schulz, and the Executive Director is Andreas Kornacki.
An ensemble of around fifty full-time actors, numerous guest artists and some 350 colleagues in artistic, technical, costume and make-up departments plus administration are responsible for staging approximately 900 performances per year. In the 2023/24 season, the theatre achieved 252.300 spectators: its largest total audience in the last 35 years.
