Gallen around 900. Church opposition kept professional theatre companies out of the town until the 19th century. In 1857 the company moved into the Kunkler building on the Bohl. The current building, designed by Claude Paillard, opened in 1968 with Beethoven's Fidelio. The company became a cooperative with the city and canton, and has run as one house with its orchestra since 2000. A full renovation from 2020 to 2023 was followed by a reopening in 2023.
