Théâtre Municipal d'Évreux, Historic theater in Évreux, France

The Théâtre Municipal d'Évreux is a Beaux-Arts theatre with a pale cream facade banded by rusticated stone and exposed brick panels. Its left wing has two rows of windows with a balcony rail, while the central section carries a pediment and balcony. The right section rises into a tall arched entrance with a balustraded balcony, topped by a grey domed roof with a lantern finial; curved mosaic lettering above the arch reads "THEATRE". The base sits on a paved plaza with low green planters.

Architect Léon Légendre designed the building in 1898, and it opened in 1903 as a major cultural venue. Throughout the 20th century, it served generations as a performance space for theater and cultural events in the region.

The theatre has housed the Théâtre des Opérations, the company directed by Jacques Falguières for 30 years, since 1978. Its stage hosted his productions of Molière's George Dandin in 1997 and Le Misanthrope in 1994, and Corneille's Polyeucte in 1988. Since the 21st century it has been part of the national stage Tangram.

The theater has been thoroughly renovated and is accessible for visitors wanting to attend performances. It is helpful to check opening hours and the current program in advance to plan your visit properly.

The plane tree (érable sycomore) planted in front of the facade before the Revolution is listed as an arbre remarquable de France. It predates the 1898 competition won by architect Léon Legendre and the theatre's opening in 1903.
