Theatrical plays became a regular attraction in the city from the beginning of the 19th century in German and Hungarian language.

While being continuously planned from 1815 onwards, the first theatre opened only in 1840 in the Mária street.

To meet the demand for a high-quality structure, the city council set up a committee, led by mayor János Aidinger to coordinate the planning.

The design competition of 1890 was won by Adolf Lang and Adolf Steinhardt, who, in cooperation with the renowned Fellner-Helmer duo, and 10 000 Ft granted by the county council, started the construction.
