Helsinki City Theatre’s performance activities are cancelled for three weeks

Due to the epidemic situation in the Helsinki Metropolitan Area, the Helsinki City Theatre will cancel its performances for three weeks starting on 23 November. The premiere of the musical play Tatu and Patu in Helsinki has been postponed.

The Metropolitan Area Coronavirus Coordination Group has decided on new restrictions and recommendations as the Helsinki Metropolitan Area has entered the community transmission phase of the coronavirus epidemic. The cities, the Finnish Institute for Health and Welfare (THL) and the Helsinki University Hospital (HUS) decided that the maximum number of people at indoor public events should be limited to 20 people in the Helsinki Metropolitan Area for three weeks starting from 23 November 2020. The decision on the matter will be made by the Regional State Administrative Agency for Southern Finland.

Helsinki City Theatre will follow the guidelines and suspend its performance activities for three weeks starting on 23 November. The premiere of the musical play Tatu and Patu in Helsinki on 26 November has been postponed, and the theatre will announce a new premiere date later.  

The performances for the rest of the week on 20 and 21 November will be held as planned. The theatre will be in contact with customers who have purchased and reserved tickets for cancelled performances. Tickets will be refunded to customers.

The Helsinki City Theatre’s website will be updated with information on the effects of the coronavirus on the building’s operations.
