Arcadia Crew has the honor to invite you Saturday, March 9, from the time 11:30, at the Arcadia Hall, at the book launch "I was the puppet" - Theater Man Maria Mierluț", signed by Toma Hogea.

At the beginning of March, for three days, the actors of the Arcadia Troupe participated in a large and applied workshop on the Bunraku-type articulated puppet, held by Prof. Univ. Dr. Ciprian Huțanu, one of the most appreciated contemporary Romanian puppet artists.

Between February 29 and March 2, the Arcadia Theater became a space for innovation, creativity and development. During the workshop "Decomposition of stage movement through animated objects", puppeteers perfected their known techniques, but also acquired new handling skills, under the careful coordination of Ciprian Huțanu, who returns to Oradea after creating a successful project on the Arcadia Hall stage, the show "The Bremen Town Musicians".

The Regina Maria Theater managed to bring joy and hope to the souls of children in Bihor County during the 2nd edition of the event "Christmas in the Land of Puppets", which took place from December 2 to 18. This year's edition included 14 shows performed at the Arcadia Hall and the Great Hall and brought a distinctive touch by integrating two awareness campaigns, carried out in collaboration with the Bihor DGASPC.

The Regina Maria Theatre invites you between December 11-15 to "Open House Week". Visitors will enjoy guided tours of the theater building and admire the exhibition "Theatres by Fellner and Helmer. Subtle reflections on local specificities and identity values", which is the result of extensive research, carried out by the Romanian architect and specialist in historical monuments, Loredana Stasisin, at the initiative of the Austrian Cultural Forum Bucharest.

The theater building can be visited between 2:00 PM and 4:00 PM, by reservation at the phone number 0359.411.535 (Monday-Friday: 09:00-16:00), within the limit of available places (maximum 20 people/tour) with the mention that the last entry is at 15:30. 

We look forward to seeing you!

Regina Maria Theatre – co-organizer and host of a vast research project dedicated to architectural heritage for the performing arts

During 2020-2023, at the initiative of the Austrian Cultural Forum Bucharest, the Romanian architect and specialist in historical monuments, Loredana Stasisin, undertook an extensive research effort that involved collaborating with 12 of the several dozen theaters built at the end of the 19th and beginning of the 20th centuries, throughout Europe – including four located in Romania – by the famous Austrian architectural office led by Ferdinand Fellner and Hermann Gottfried Helmer. This effort aims at exhibitions in various reference spaces designed by the famous architects and the creation of the web platform "Theatres made by Fellner & Helmer. Subtle Reflections on local specificities and identity values".

The exhibition and web platform "Theatres made by Fellner & Helmer. Subtle Reflections on local specificities and identity values" will be launched in Oradea on November 30, 5:30 p.m., at the State Theater (King Ferdinand Square no. 4-6).

The Regina Maria Theatre is pleased to announceÞthe premiere of the show "Cactus Flower" by Pierre Barillet and Pierre Grédy, directed by Daniel Vulcu, which will take place on Sunday, September 24, at 7:00 PM, at the Great Hall.

Pierre Barillet and Pierre Grédy are two French writers who have become an emblematic tandem of boulevard theater. Their prolific collaboration began in the 1940s, and "Cactus Flower" is one of their joint projects that enjoyed enormous success, especially on Broadway.

The Arcadia Theater is currently hosting the poster exhibition Be brave, don't let them in your mind!, dedicated to children who have faced bullying situations over time. The exhibition is the result of the work of six students from different schools in Oradea, who participated this summer in the "Antibullying Messengers" activities organized by psychologist Ioana Drugaș within the Drug Club.

The Regina Maria Theater is hiring a full-time and temporary stage director (backstage).

"How, if not with immense regret, do we say goodbye to another colleague and dear friend? In recent years, George Voinese and Tiberiu Covaci have left us, and now, at the beginning of the season, Ion Ruscuț is leaving in great haste."

Ion came to Oradea after graduation and, lo and behold, he stayed in the theater, until his retirement years. He came then, a tall, handsome young man, full of vigor, talent and desire to assert himself. His teacher, director Zoe Anghel Stanca, introduced him, telling us how much she supported the Transylvanian who came to the exam to try his luck. She told us then, those in the theater, what it's like with talent and work on stage, with hard work, with dedication and luck. With the chance of the perfect meeting between the talent a young person is born with and what he adds to it later, through permanent preparation: readings, physical condition and mental contribution.

The Regina Maria Theatre team returns from vacation with enthusiasm to step into a new season full of emotion, humor and high-caliber theatrical art. Spectators will be able to enjoy two premieres, guest performances, but also already established productions of the Iosif Vulcan troupe in September.

A successful premiere: "Cruelty and Tenderness"„

The season begins with the premiere of the show "Cruelty and Tenderness" by Martin Crimp, directed by Andrei Dinu, scheduled for August 24, at 7:00 PM, at the Transilvania Hall. The audience responded enthusiastically, and tickets quickly sold out for this production that promises to impress and captivate with its profound story. The next performance will take place on September 12, and tickets can be purchased online at Eventim.ro or from the ticket agency.

Eagerly awaited: "Cactus Flower"„

At the end of next month, the Regina Maria Theater is preparing a new surprise for the audience: the comedy "Cactus Flower" by Pierre Barillet & Jean-Pierre Grédy, directed by Daniel Vulcu, which will premiere on September 24, at 7:00 PM, at the Great Hall. With an ingenious script and remarkable performances, this show will bring laughter to the faces of viewers who enjoy quality comedies.
