The Csokonai Theatre is the oldest and largest theatre in Debrecen, Hungary. It was named after one of the first Hungarian Modern Age playwrights, Mihály Csokonai, who lived and created many of his works in Debrecen.[1] The building was designed by Antal Szkalnitzky with Moorish styled ornamentations,[2][3] the theatre opened on Kossuth Lajos utca [hu] in 1865, with Róza Laborfalvi as Gertrude in a performance of József Katona's 1819 play Bánk bán.[4]
