The theatre began operating on 18 May 1958. Since then, it says it has prepared more than 450 premieres, covering musicals, operettas, musical theatre, ballet, cabaret, children’s productions, concerts and chamber performances. Its three stages have a combined capacity of more than 1,500 people.

You can browse performances by stage on the theatre’s official website, where the programme and online ticket purchasing are available. Tickets can also be bought at the box office, and reservations can be made by telephone.

Reduced-price tickets are available to children, school pupils, students under 26, pensioners, people with disabilities and carers of people with significant disabilities. Bring proof of eligibility, as it must be shown when tickets are checked.

Voucher reservations by telephone must be made at least seven days before the chosen performance; vouchers and exchanged tickets cannot be returned or exchanged for cash.

The theatre sits in central Gdynia, so you can include it in a walk through the city centre. From Hotel Blick, it is about a 13-minute walk.

The theatre asks guests to arrive early, particularly at weekends, because parking is limited and early arrival supports visitor comfort and safety. If you plan to drive, allow time to find parking before the performance begins.

Plan your arrival around the performance time. The theatre’s café, CAFE MUZA, is open during performances. If you are travelling elsewhere in town, Gdynia’s public transport can help you get around.

Wheelchair users can enter through a ramp at the main entrance and use an internal lift, but wheelchair access to the Chamber Stage is not available. Free admission is offered to wheelchair users after advance contact with the Audience Services Office.

Before you go: Performance listings, ticket arrangements and opening hours can change, so check the official site before you go.
