Dieses wunderschöne alte Theater, das König Wilhelm I erbauen ließ, hat eine tolle Akkustik und beeindruckend Gemälde an den Wänden und Decke.

Wir sahen ein Shakespeare Stück, konnte mit der Technik gut umgesetzt werden trotz mittlerer Bühnen Größe. Jedoch Recht alt und staubig, Stühle und Belüftung waren ebenfalls alt, trug jedoch zur Atmosphäre bei, jedoch für Allergiker suboptimal aber dennoch schön.
