In addition to BTB’s 2 major productions, The Nutcracker and the BTB Gala, students participate in the Theater Basel’s annual Advent Calendar, productions of Ballett Basel as well as smaller productions. BTB also annually holds an Open House which gives the public the opportunity to experience our student’s daily class work.

Klein Heidi

This year we start with “Little Heidi”, the Swiss children’s classic about the little nature-loving Heidi in a playful, interactive danced version especially for kindergartens, daycare centers and primary school classes. The students
and students of the BTB interperate the choreography of
Richard Wherlock, to the newly composed music of
Tino Marthaler and Alain Pauli.
 
In the subsequent movement workshop, the children slip into the
the children themselves slip into the various roles.
 

Nutcracker

Basel’s favorite Christmas classic! It is the charming story of Clara and her Nutcracker, who comes alive in her dream and transforms into a handsome Prince. He accompanies her on an adventurous journey during which they defend themselves against the King Rat and his army of mice, admire the swirling waltz of the Snowflakes and are finally led by the Sugarplum Fairy into her enchanted Kingdom. Accompany Clara and her Nutcracker Prince as they dance to the beautiful strains of Tchaikovsky’s magical score.

Basler Sportmarkt

At the Basel Sports Market, children, parents, godmothers, godfathers, grandparents and everyone else have the opportunity to get to know and try out many different sports.

Watch a professional training or join a trial lesson. Our studios are in Hall 4 & 5.
