Csokonai Theatre, Municipal theatre in Debrecen, Hungary
The Csokonai Theatre building displays Moorish and Byzantine elements throughout its architecture, with sculptures representing figures of Hungarian literature adorning the exterior.
The theatre opened its doors in 1865 with a performance of József Katona's play Bánk bán, featuring actress Róza Laborfalvi in the role of Gertrude.
The theatre presents a diverse program of performances across its five stages, including theatrical productions, operas, and musicals throughout the theatrical season.
Visitors can purchase tickets at the box office located at Kossuth Street 10 in Debrecen or through the online booking system at jegy.csokonaiszinhaz.hu.
The building maintained its original gas lighting system until 1896, when it was upgraded to electric illumination as part of the venue's modernization efforts.
