History
During Atzél Péter's mayoralty, the town council voted to take out a loan for the new theatre and town hall. Construction of the theatre began in 1871, based on plans by the architect Czigler Antal from Arad (or maybe his son Győző). It was inaugurated on 21 September 1874 in the presence of Emperor Franz Joseph with the opening of the opera Hunyadi László. By this time, it became clear that most of the money raised for two buildings (800,000 forints) had already been used up on the construction of the theatre. The facade is neoclassical, the interior is neo-baroque. The ceilings were painted by Györgyössy Rudolf, a painter from Arad, based on the designs of Lotz Károly. Its huge auditorium could seat 1200 people. The building burnt down on 18 February 1883. Halmay Arad from Arad was commissioned to rebuild it. It opened in October 1885. Until 1913, when the Palace of Culture was built, the first floor of the building housed the Museum of Relics, a collection of the memories of the military officers executed in Arad in 1849 and the Hungarian War of Independence. The interior was decorated by the sculptor Tóth András, father of the poet Tóth Árpád. In 1949 the Hungarian section was closed down. It burnt down again in 1955. During its reconstruction the interior was significantly modified. The columns of the main facade were also added at this time by Milos Cristea, with a group of sculptures in the timpanum in the style of socialist realism.
