Theatersaal National is a historic theatre hall within the National Bern complex, distinguished by its high vaulted ceiling, classical architectural details, stage and galleries that give the venue a traditional theatrical character. The hall can be adapted to different types of events and accommodates up to 832 visitors in a concert seating configuration, while formats without fixed seating can allow for a larger audience.
The main floor and two galleries provide several audience configurations depending on the production, while the large stage and technical infrastructure support theatre performances, concerts, comedy shows and other live programmes. Its historic interior creates a more intimate atmosphere than a modern arena, while the exact acoustic experience and seating arrangement depend on the setup of each event.
The venue is located at Hirschengraben 24, Bern, Switzerland. The Hirschengraben stop is directly in front of the building, Bern's main railway station is only a few minutes away on foot, and visitors arriving by car are advised to use the nearby City West parking garage.
