Municipal Theatre of Colmar

Municipal Theatre of Colmar, 19th-century theatre in central Colmar, France

The Municipal Theatre of Colmar stands on the Place du 18-Novembre beside the Unterlinden Museum, built 1847–1849 to Louis-Michel Boltz's plans. Its pink sandstone facade has five bays, cream stone bands, fluted pilasters and a balustrade with a central pediment; a plaque reads "THEATRE MUNICIPAL". Inside, the circular Italian-style auditorium has three galleries, decorated by Boulangé.

The building was designed by architect Louis-Michel Boltz between 1847 and 1849 and replaced part of the former Unterlinden convent complex. Its construction marked a turning point for the city's cultural and entertainment life.

The theatre hosts around 120 performances a year, drawing roughly 30,000 to 32,000 spectators. Its Italian-style circular hall with three galleries of boxes follows a model imported from Italy, and the interior decoration is the work of Boulangé. The building stands beside the Unterlinden Museum, on the site of a former dependency of that convent.

The theatre stands on Place du 18-Novembre, beside the Unterlinden Museum, in central Colmar. The auditorium holds 550 seats after the 2000 restoration, down from 750, so booking ahead matters for popular shows. The circular Italian-style hall has three galleries, and the cheapest seats in the upper levels are furthest from the stage.

The 2000 restoration reduced the auditorium from 750 to 550 seats while keeping the circular Italian-style plan with three galleries. The theatre stages about 120 performances a year for roughly 32,000 spectators, and it stands on the site of a former dependency of the Unterlinden convent.
