History
Built in 1892, it was a state-of-the-art theatre with a revolving stage, and with around half a thousand seats. Along with the theatres of Nagyvárad and Kolozsvár, it is one of the oldest and most elegant still functioning theatres in Transylvania. It currently has two sections (Romanian and Hungarian). The Hungarian company is named after Harag György.
Szatmárnémeti has a 220-year tradition of Hungarian-language theatre. In 1790 the first theatrical performance was held in the town by travelling comedians. The town has had its own theatre since 1847. This building was one of the first stone theatres in Hungary. The famous Hungarian poet Arany János also played here during his short career as a travelling actor. The new theatre building was inaugurated in 1892. Today it is still home to the Northern Theatre. Artists such as Beregi Oszkár, Márkus Emília, Jászai Mari, Neményi Lili, Borovszky Oszkár, Poór Lili, Gróf László have appeared on its stage. During the Second World War, the theatre was hit by bombs, which rendered it unusable for a long time.
Hungarian theatre was re-established in the 1950s under the leadership of Harag György. From 1 April 1957, the institution was called Hungarian State Theatre of Szatmárnémeti until the Romanian company was founded in 1968.
