The musical The Spirit of Christmas is based on the world-famous classic A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens, first published in 1843, yet it retells this beloved story in a completely new way. Unlike Dickens’ original, Scrooge’s transformation here is driven not by fear, but by love. With this powerful message, The Spirit of Christmas has attracted more than 800,000 visitors, making it the most successful Christmas musical in the German-speaking world — and it is now coming to Zurich for the very first time.

The Spirit of Christmas enchants audiences with atmospheric stage designs and exceptionally moving music. It is no coincidence that it is known as “The musical that opens hearts.” Bringing together generations young and old, it conveys the timeless message that it is never too late for change and compassion — a true homage to love.
