Csokonai National Theatre
Csokonai Nemzeti Színház
A Romantic-style theatre completed in 1865, with a distinctive Moorish-Gothic exterior, named after the poet Csokonai.
The Csokonai Theatre is one of Hungary's oldest stone-built theatre buildings, opened in 1865. Its exterior blends Moorish and Gothic elements, and the red-and-white façade is very photogenic. It is named after Csokonai Vitéz Mihály, the 18th-century poet born in Debrecen, and it stages plays, operas and ballets. You can buy tickets for performances, but outside performance times you can generally only see the exterior. The building underwent a major renovation in recent years. It is on the east side of the old town, about an 8-minute walk from the cathedral.
