Schauspielhaus Zürich performances in Wikidata
The goal of the project is to try to ingest all performances of the Schauspielhaus Theater in Zurich held between 1938 and 1968 in Wikidata. In a further step, data from the www.performing-arts.eu Platform, Swiss Theatre Collection and other data providers could be ingested as well.
