Szigligeti Theatre

The Szigligeti Theatre is a municipal venue in Szolnok with multiple performance spaces for different types of productions. The main hall hosts full-scale shows while the smaller studio space accommodates roughly 90 spectators for more experimental work.

The building first opened in 1912 and underwent several transformations over the decades. The establishment of a permanent resident company in 1954 marked a turning point in its development as a stable cultural institution.

The house presents a wide range of productions including operettas, classic plays, and musicals, while also supporting new Hungarian theatrical works and emerging talents. The programming reflects the local audience's taste for diverse theatrical art.

Visitors can purchase tickets through the official website and find current programming information via the Szolnok mobile application. Both platforms make it easy to plan visits and check what shows are coming up.

The venue organizes an annual New Year Gala featuring local actors, which is broadcast on television and reaches audiences across the country. This televised event connects the local stage with a national cultural moment.
