Bühnen Bern is a significant cultural center in the city of Bern, characterized by its wide range of artistic events. The institution comprises several stages that offer over 400 performances and concerts annually. These range from classical operas like Wagner's Ring to modern musicals to Swiss classics like "Die Schwarze Spinne" and innovative choreographies by the Berner Ballett[3].
Bühnen Bern operates as a non-profit foundation whose main goal is the operation of cultural institutions. It works closely with other cultural and educational institutions to achieve its goals. The foundation does not pursue any profit-making purpose and uses its resources exclusively for charitable purposes[1].
Bühnen Bern has increasingly committed to sustainability in recent years. The process began with internal discussions and the creation of an environmental footprint. In collaboration with expert companies such as Tiefgrün GmbH and Carbotech AG, ten working groups were formed to promote the implementation of sustainable practices in the areas of resource consumption and energy efficiency[2].
With over 500 employees, Bühnen Bern is a major employer in Bern. The institution offers not only cultural events, but also gastronomic services and a unique event location for companies and private occasions[4]. Bühnen Bern remains true to its mission of promoting cultural diversity while acting in an environmentally conscious manner.
