History
The theatre was built between 1817-1818 in Baroque style by Jakob Hirschl, an Arad merchant of Viennese origin. In the beginning, German and Hungarian companies, travelling companies, with actors such as Déryné Széppataki Róza (1793-1872) and Petőfi Sándor, performed in the hall. After the construction of the new theatre (1874), the old theatre was converted into a prop store, and in 1907 the city's first permanent cinema, the Urania, was opened here, which operated until 1967.
