Schauspiel Leipzig
Schauspiel Leipzig is the city’s principal theatre and one of Germany’s most vibrant stages, renowned for its aesthetic diversity and bold artistic direction. As Leipzig’s municipal theatre, it combines tradition with innovation, staging classics alongside contemporary works that address pressing social questions. Since 2013, under the artistic leadership of Enrico Lübbe, the theatre has pursued a progressive vision of a “Stadttheater” that reflects the city’s cultural diversity and engages audiences in lively debate. Its program spans three venues: the historic main stage, the Diskothek dedicated to new drama and emerging voices, and the Residenz at the Baumwollspinnerei, which has gained international recognition as a hub for experimental and co-produced theatre. Schauspiel Leipzig is also committed to accessibility, offering surtitles in English, participatory formats, and inclusive performances for diverse audiences. Collaborations with local institutions such as the Gewandhaus, the Museum der bildenden Künste, and the Opera further anchor it in Leipzig’s cultural fabric. With its mix of epochal classics, contemporary premieres, and socially engaged productions, Schauspiel Leipzig continues to shape the city’s identity as a centre of artistic dialogue and innovation.
