Theater Rigiblick, up on the Zürichberg and reached by the Seilbahn Rigiblick, has been part of the city’s cultural life for more than a century and calls itself the theatre with the most beautiful view of Zurich. It stages around 250 performances a year in music theatre, plays, music and literature for an audience of 200; the theatre bar is a good place for a drink with the artists after the show.
