Théâtre de Beaulieu
Originally opened in 1954, the Théâtre de Beaulieu remains to this date the largest in Switzerland. Its renovation and upgrade include the design of a new acoustically optimised orchestra shell and the integration of an electronic reverberation system to enhance natural acoustic reverberation. The Théâtre hosts miscellaneous shows ranging from contemporary dance, drama, classical concerts, including those with the Orchestre de la Suisse Romande and with the Orchestre de Chambre de Lausanne, to jazz and pop concerts. This renovation grants the Théâtre with a great acoustic versatility and ensures an excellent quality for all uses.
