building
The Casino-Théâtre de Lausanne (also Théâtre de Georgette ), which was built from 1869 to 1871 according to plans by Jules Verrey for the Société du Casino-Théâtre , opened on May 10, 1871. In the years 1931/1932 it was completely rebuilt by Charles Thévenaz , whereby only the outer walls of the theater were preserved; the auditorium of the theater now called Théâtre municipal was expanded from 600 to 1101 seats. 1975–1976 the stage was modernized; the number of seats was reduced to 960. In 2007 the theater had to be closed for fire protection reasons and could only be reopened in October 2012 after fundamental renovations and extensions (including a completely new stage). Today the auditorium has 738 seats.
