31st CSS Theatergala
CSS and Caritas Lucerne are hosting the 31st CSS Theatergala at Lucerne Theatre on 24 October 2025, and invite everyone to attend. This year's CSS Theatergala is dedicated to grand Italian opera. With Giuseppe Verdi's Luisa Miller, the Lucerne Theatre presents an enthralling work of passionate arias, dramatic twists and deep emotion, transporting the audience into a world of love, betrayal and hope.
What it's all about
As the musical drama draws us deep into the search for the antidote, a web of intrigue unfolds, revealing the darker sides of human nature. Yet amid all the malice, hope remains that love might, after all, prevail.
After heartbreak and tragedy on stage, pleasure awaits at the table. At the culinary finale, guests will be served a range of delicacies guaranteed to delight.
Buy tickets and support Caritas
The event is for a good cause: For over thirty years, all proceeds have gone directly to Caritas Lucerne, helping families with children living in hardship in the canton of Lucerne find their way out of difficult circumstances.
