History
The theatre was built in 1899-1900 by the architects Rimanóczy Kálmán Jr., Guttman József and Rendes Vilmos from Nagyvárad based on designs by the Austrian architects Ferdinand Fellner and Hermann Helmer. It opened on 15 October 1900 as the Szigliget Theatre. In front of it stands a bust of Szigligeti Ede, sculpted by Margó Ede, erected in 1912. In the summer of 1923, the statue was exiled by the Romanian authorities to the Schlauch Garden and replaced by a statue of the Romanian Queen Mary, only to be returned to its original location in 1940. In the autumn of 1948, the theatre began its first season as the Hungarian State Theatre of Nagyvárad. From 1955 a Romanian company also performs in the building. The main figure in its triangular pediment is Hunnia, the figures around her personify music, singing, comedy and tragedy.
The first Hungarian-language theatre performance was given by the company of Kolozsvár on 26 August 1798 in the large hall of the Black Eagle restaurant, with Hunnius's The Deaf and Dumb. This date marks the beginning of the professional theatre in Várad. In the second half of the 19th century, several well-known actors such as Blaha Lujza, Ecsedi Kovács Gyula, Szentgyörgyi István, Újházi Ede performed in the town. In 1897 Jászai Mari performed Élektra in the Rhédey Garden, and this open-air performance became a significant moment in the history of Hungarian theatre.
