INFO BASEL
LIGHT CIRCUS FOR ALL SENSES
Visitors can expect an enchanting winter wonderland of light, illumination, illusion and music. A fantastic world that appeals to all the senses: A unique sea of lights and a Christmas concert of terribly spectacular mythical creatures – stated and orchestrated by the conductor Yuki. Long and cosy Advent evenings for the Basel residents and their friends and colleagues. An interactive experience where you can dive into the fantastic world of Yuki and her friends every evening from 6 p.m. until 9 p.m. Giuseppe Verdi’s “La Traviata” is performed in an unprecedented way. A crazy Christmas for the whole family.
The Illuminarium Basel takes place in the inner courtyard of the Museum der Kulturen Basel, and is therefore right next to one of Switzerland’s largest Christmas markets. Whether it is mulled wine, tasty wintery snacks or an intergalactic Advent concert performed by one-eyed Cyclopes – Basel offers a concentrated load of Christmas this year and enchants its visitors with magical lights and sounds.
