La Méridienne – Théâtre de Lunéville, Historical theatre in Lunéville, France.

La Méridienne stands at 37 rue de Lorraine, its cream and pale grey stone facade rising from a paved square. Two slender columns with composite capitals flank three round-headed arches closed by dark iron gates, and above them a stone balustrade balcony carries small flags. A carved frieze and two sculpted groups crown the top, with "THEATRE" and "LA MERIDIENNE" cut into the stone.

A 1733 comedy hall built for Élisabeth-Charlotte d'Orléans stood near the château; Voltaire acted there and his La Femme qui a Raison was first performed in 1749. Rebuilt by Charles-François Chatelain from 1829 to 1833, it burned on 18 October 1908 during a film screening. Lucien Weissenburger's replacement, with a reinforced-concrete frame clad in Euville limestone, opened on 2 April 1911.

The name La Méridienne, adopted in 2012, does not refer to a meridian line: the theatre stands at 37 rue de Lorraine, between town and garden. In 1998 Jean-Paul Agosti painted the hall ceiling with "Phœbus et Luna", 130 m² of paint and gold leaf on marouflé canvas, drawing on the town's arms, "D'or à la bande d'azur chargée de trois croissants d'argent", a reference to Lune-Ville.

The theatre stands at 37 rue de Lorraine, its stone facade facing a paved square. Performances are the only times to go inside, so check the programme before travelling. The hall is on the first floor, reached from the entrance hall under Jean-Paul Agosti's ceiling painting.

The 130 m² ceiling painting Phœbus et Luna was made by Jean-Paul Agosti in 1998 with architect Guy Siefert and lighting designer Yann Desforges. Painted on marouflaged canvas with gold leaf, it draws on the town's coat of arms, three silver crescents on a blue band, a pun on Lune-Ville.
