Rønne Theater is one of Bornholm’s most important historic cultural landmarks. Opened in 1823, it is Denmark’s oldest continuously operating theatre. The listed building is located in the old quarter of Rønne, where generations of islanders and visitors have enjoyed plays, concerts, revues and lectures for more than 200 years. Stepping into the historic auditorium, you immediately sense the unique atmosphere that only a theatre with such a long history can offer.
Today, the historic building is home to Bornholms Teater, the island’s professional regional theatre. It stages its own productions, often inspired by Bornholm’s history, nature and people, while also presenting guest performances, concerts and a wide range of performing arts throughout the year.
Bornholms Teater plays an important role in the island’s cultural life and works closely with local artists, cultural institutions and community organisations. Through its mobile Solskinsteater, performances are also brought to harbours, town squares and other locations across Bornholm, making theatre accessible beyond the stage in Rønne.
A visit to Rønne Theater is therefore both an opportunity to experience a remarkable historic theatre building and to enjoy contemporary performing arts on Bornholm. Whether the programme features drama, comedy, music, family performances or local productions, the historic surroundings make every visit a memorable experience.
