Municipal Theatre of Orange, 19th century theatre in Orange, France
The Municipal Theatre of Orange contains three entrance doors adorned with busts representing different theatrical genres: Corneille, Molière, and Félicien David.
The theatre opened its doors on December 30, 1885, designed by André-Jean Boudoy, who previously collaborated with Charles Garnier on the Paris Opera.
The building exterior displays Tuscan columns, thermal windows, stone balustrades, and a Mansard roof covered with slate tiles, reflecting late 19th-century architecture.
Located on Allée Aristide-Briand in Orange, the theatre holds 650 seats and maintains regular cultural programs throughout the year.
German authorities requisitioned the theatre during World War II, after which it transformed into a meeting hall and temporarily housed the municipal library.
