Company description and purpose of company Konzert und Theater St.Gallen

As the oldest professional theater in Switzerland and the only three-part theater in the Eastern Switzerland / Lake Constance region, the St.Gallen Theater can look back on a long tradition: An amateur theater was established in St.Gallen as early as the Middle Ages, inspired by the monks Tutilo and Notker. But in a general anti-theater milieu - the church was rather hostile to the theater - this theatrical work broke off again, and at the beginning of the 19th century, theater and drama were still seen as a threat to customs and morality. In September 1801 the theater group "Deutsche Löhlein'sche Theatergesellschafte" asked the local city authorities for permission to play in vain. She had to perform her harmless play "The noble lie" by August von Kotzebue in a shack in St. Fiden. Later, the cantonal government assigned the theater director Löhlein and his troops to the prince abbot's monastery remise outside the city limits as a theater venue. On October 14, 1801, the premiere of the first St.Gallen theater took place in the simply furnished room, again with a play by the successful author Kotzebue: "The silver wedding or the happiness of the satisfied farmer". From 1801 to 1856 the remise between Karls- and Spisertor served as a theater building. At the beginning of the 19th century, a small house was added to the building, which was only built under Abbot Beda in 1795, in which the ticket office and a small refreshment room were set up. In 1805 the first Landammann of the new canton of St.Gallen, Karl Müller-Friedberg, founded the «Theater-Actionnairs-Gesellschaft». With this shareholder company he created the basis for the first Swiss professional theater with a three-branch offer on a private basis and headed it until 1831, the year of his political retirement. In 1850, the architect Johann Christoph Kunkler, who was already overseeing the renovation work on the Sankt-Laurenzen-Kirche, was commissioned to look for a suitable building site. The choice fell on the area of ​​the former monastery garden of St. Katharinen and the old armory there, today's Bohl. In 1857 the theater was able to move into the new Kunkler building on Bohl, which was officially opened on November 5th with Mozart's “Don Giovanni”. The Stadttheater's productions could be seen in this building for exactly 111 years, until the curtain fell for the last time in January 1968 on Millöcker's “The Begging Student”. The Kunkler building was demolished in 1971. On March 15, 1968, the new theater designed by Zurich architect Claude Paillard was opened with Ludwig van Beethoven's “Fidelio”. The performances of the St.Gallen Theater take place in this building today.
