Csiky Gergely Theater

A wonderfully refurbished and renewed theatre.

Beautiful interior, good plays.

Closed, Cause: Renovation

Terrible!

The first permanent theater of Kaposvár opened its doors in 1911 on the former Búza Square. The plans of the theater were made by Ede Magyar and József Stahl, also called "Hungarian Gaudí". The plans were implemented by Péter Melocco, a contractor from Budapest. In the 1950s, the building was expanded, which primarily affected the playground. It underwent a complete renovation in the early 1980s, when most of the stage techniques (recessed, lamps) used for decades were incorporated. From January 2017, the building underwent a complete renovation, reconstruction and expansion for almost 3 years. In the process, new, modern stage equipment was also installed, the theater received a new part of the building at the back, and the former yellow exterior color was replaced by the original brick red, as it was at the beginning of the 20th century, when it was rebuilt. The ceremonial handover of the renovated building took place on 11 November 2019.
