Sándor Weöres Theatre, Modern theatre in Szombathely, Hungary
The Sándor Weöres Theatre is a modern theatre in Szombathely featuring contemporary design with glass elements and wooden interior panels. The building contains multiple performance spaces, including the Main Stage and Márkus Emília Hall, equipped with advanced acoustic and lighting systems.
The theatre opened in 2009 replacing the original stone building from 1880, which was destroyed by fire in 1907. The new facility was rebuilt on the same site and has served as an important cultural centre for the city since its opening.
The theatre takes its name from Hungarian poet Sándor Weöres and presents national theatrical works alongside artistic collaborations with local organizations. Visitors experience a program that includes both classical and contemporary performances.
The building is located next to the Sports House and is easily accessible by public transport. Visitors should check the current programme in advance as performances vary seasonally.
The theatre's architecture was designed to follow the natural contours of the surrounding tree crowns. This thoughtful design creates a seamless integration of the building within the urban landscape.
