  • Can my child attend the shows?

    For safety reasons, each viewer, including young children, must have a ticket. Young audiences are welcome at the Beaulieu Theatre. Age limits to be respected are set by the organizers or competent authorities and are mentioned on the page of the relevant event.

    It is the responsibility of parents or guardians to equip children with appropriate hearing protection. Earplugs provided free of charge are not suitable for children. Protective headphones (pamirs) are more suitable but must be brought personally.

    We appreciate your consideration of the duration of the show and your child’s ability to remain calm and attentive during the performance. Your child’s booster seats are allowed in the auditorium.

  • How long does the show last? Is there an intermission? In what language is it played?

    You will find in the agenda the list of scheduled shows, as well as details concerning each event.
    When the duration of a show is known, we specify it on its page. Some shows are creations, and their duration is not yet defined at the time of programming. We try to publish the information as quickly as possible.

    The vast majority of productions are presented in French. However, some international shows are performed in their original version (film concerts or musical comedies), in which case, we specify it on the page of the performance.

  • What time do the doors open?

    The foyers and bars open 1h30 before the start of the show.
    The auditorium doors open approximately 30 minutes before the start of the show.

  • Is there a cloakroom?

    Yes, a free cloakroom is available to spectators. It opens 1h30 before the start of the performance and closes 1h after the end of the performance. For safety and evacuation standards, it is forbidden to enter the auditorium with bulky objects (backpacks, scooters, helmets, etc.), and we will ask you systematically to deposit these objects in the cloakroom.

    You will find all the venues in the Lausanne region at the following link: https://www.unesallealausanne.com/

  • Can I get exit parking tickets?

    The Beaulieu Theatre does not offer advance exit tickets. Indeed, this system shifts traffic congestion inside the parking, causing both an accumulation of exhaust gases and traffic jams at the exit on Avenue des Bergières.

    Waiting at one of the 5 cash desks helps to streamline the exit. The bars of the Beaulieu Theatre remain open after the show, so we suggest extending your evening with a drink while waiting for the gradual exit of the audience!

  • I have a complaint about a show, who should I address it to?

    The Beaulieu Theatre, like the other spaces on the Beaulieu site, is rented to various regional or international producers. Therefore, Beaulieu SA does not make any artistic choices regarding programming, bears no responsibility for the content of the show, and does not receive any revenue related to ticket sales. Contact details for the show’s organizers are listed on the Beaulieu online agenda.
