Théâtre Municipal de Grenoble, Municipal theatre in central Grenoble, France.

The Théâtre Municipal de Grenoble, now called the Grand Théâtre, stands on the Isère in central Grenoble, entered from the small rue Hector-Berlioz near the Collégiale Saint-André. Its pale yellow facade carries the word "Theatre" in dark letters above two rows of tall windows, the lower row holding painted figures in arched frames, under a steep red and brown tiled roof. A second light stone facade, divided by protruding columns and dark slatted strips, bears the words "GRAND THÉÂTRE" in black capitals.

The theatre was founded in 1768 following a public campaign to establish a permanent music academy. During the French Revolution, it was renamed and presented performances focused on republican messages.

The theatre presents 36 different productions each season, ranging from classical performances to modern interpretations of contemporary works.

The entrance is on the small rue Hector-Berlioz, in the historic centre, a short walk from the Collégiale Saint-André, the Palais du parlement du Dauphiné and the Hôtel de Lesdiguières. The Grand Théâtre is one of three venues of the TMG, with the Théâtre 145 and the Théâtre de Poche on cours Berriat. Look for the dark lettering "GRAND THÉÂTRE" on the stone facade and the purple TMG banners beside it.

During the French Revolution, the venue changed its name to 'School of Morals' and presented plays promoting republican values.
