Théâtre du Jorat

[1] Werner Reinhart was the primary financial supporter of the Théâtre du Jorat.

Constructed entirely of wood which ensures its integration with neighboring farms,[2] it is nicknamed the "Sublime barn" or the "Wooden palace" by the inhabitants of the commune.

The building is listed in the Swiss Inventory of Cultural Property of National and Regional Significance.

In particular, it was the place where Le Roi David by Arthur Honegger and many works by Gustave Doret were premiered.

Hugues Cuénod made his last stage appearance at the theatre in 1994, performing as M Triquet in Eugene Onegin.
