The New Riga Theatre (Jaunais Rīgas teātris) is a state repertory theatre renowned for its innovative and intellectually engaging productions. Founded in 1992, it has become a cornerstone of Latvia’s contemporary performing arts scene, known for its high artistic standards and socially conscious repertoire. Under the long-standing artistic direction of Alvis Hermanis, the theatre has gained international acclaim, performing at major festivals across Europe and beyond. In 2024, after a seven-year renovation, the company returned to its historic home on Lāčplēša Street 25, now featuring three performance spaces: the Big Stage, the New Stage, and the Small Stage. The theatre’s programming spans modern interpretations of classics, original Latvian works, and international plays, appealing to a discerning and culturally engaged audience. With its bold aesthetic, commitment to artistic excellence, and global reach, the New Riga Theatre continues to shape the cultural landscape of Latvia while fostering dialogue through the power of performance.
