Named after its founder, the Swiss actor Rudolf Bernhard (1901-1962). In the course of renovations of the adjacent Opernhaus, the old Esplanade building that had housed the Bernhard-Theater since its foundation in 1934 was demolished. A new Bernhard-Theater was built on the old site from 1983-1984. Opened 27 Dec 1984 with Thornton Wilder's play Our Town. Mainly used for dialect comedies, musicals and drama guest performances. 500 seats. (English)
