Théâtre de Laval, Heritage theater in Laval, France
The Théâtre de Laval is a theater building in Laval featuring a notable façade designed by architect Pierre-Aimé Renous. The main hall accommodates 583 spectators, while a smaller room seats 120 people.
The building was first constructed in 1830 and underwent several changes, including conversion to a cinema in 1958. It returned to its theatrical purpose in 2007 after a major renovation.
The venue serves as the National Center for Puppetry Arts and hosts a range of performances from theatrical productions to classical music concerts. It functions as a cultural gathering place for both local and visiting artists throughout the year.
The theater is located on Rue de la Paix in central Laval and is easily accessible from the town center. You can find performance schedules and book tickets through the venue's website for upcoming shows.
The 2007 renovation preserved only the original façade and underground crypt, while the interior received complete modernization by architect Jean-Pierre Logerais. This approach created a modern space inside a historic shell, blending old and new in an unusual way.
