The Delly Theatre is located in the old town of Solothurn in a historic vaulted cellar. The name "Delly" was the call name of Adele Peter-Flury, the penultimate owner of the house. With 40 seats, a stage of 2 x 4 metres, a small bar and a WC, the Delly is the smallest theatre in the city. Following the small theatre culture of the sixties and the tradition of small cabarets of the turn of the last century in many small towns in Switzerland, the Delly opened its doors in May 2016. Since then, well over a hundred events from a wide range of music, theatre and readings have taken place.
The theatre is run on a voluntary basis and is a cultural commitment of the owners Adriana and Kuno Schaub Basso and of Veronika Fluri and Thomas Bitterli. The theatre can be rented for private and public events.
