The Stadttheater Bremerhaven was founded in 1867 as a multi-genre theater. Every season, a broad repertoire of music theater, drama, ballet, young theater and the Low German stage "Waterkant" as well as concerts by the Bremerhaven Philharmonic Orchestra (General Music Director: Marc Niemann) can be experienced.
Director Lars Tietje and his team are opening up the theater further to the city and urban society, developing new venues and formats.
Since 2023, the Stadttheater has been organizing the "Sommerbühne vor dem Stadttheater Bremerhaven" in cooperation with the cultural office and neighbouring cultural institutions. It offers an annual five-week program of theater, readings, concerts and performances.
The Stadttheater regularly receives artistic awards. Among other things, it was awarded the German Federal Theatre Prize in 2015 and named one of the best theaters away from the centers by the trade magazine Die Deutsche Bühne in 2016. In 2023, an opera production by the Stadttheater will be nominated for the German Theater Prize DER FAUST. In the same year, the Bremerhaven Philharmonic Orchestra was nominated twice for the OPUS KLASSIK in the categories "Conductor of the Year" and "Symphonic Recording".
