One of the most spectacular Belle Époque theatres in North Africa
Built in 1907 during the French colonial period, the Théâtre Municipal d'Oran is considered one of the finest Belle Époque buildings in all of North Africa. Its ornate façade of carved stonework, arched windows and classical columns makes it a truly breathtaking sight on the city's main boulevard.
The theatre hosts regular performances of theatre, opera, classical music, traditional Algerian music and dance. It is the cultural heart of Oran and a key venue during the city's arts festivals and national celebrations.
The theatre exterior can be admired at any time. For interior visits and performances, check the current programme at the theatre box office on Boulevard Maata Mohamed El Habib.
