Old theatre of Arad

The main façade has largely retained its previous appearance; the most remarkable elements are the three gates that line the ground floor.

In the autumn of 1817, in November, a German theatre troupe led by Cristofor Kun performed here .

The existence of a permanent building, over the years, brought to the stage of the performance hall  numerous prestigious troupes and a number of artists such as Treuman in 1845, or Johan Strauss son in the concert of 1847.

The building, which was in an advanced state of decay, was returned to the descendants of the former owner Iacob Hirschl.

Arad City Hall wants to buy the building of the first permanent theatre in Romania and restore it.
