Lonely Planet review for Municipal Theatre

This appealing theatre on Jules Koenig St has changed little since it was built in 1822, making it the oldest theatre in the Indian Ocean region. Decorated in the style of the classic London theatres, it seats about 600 on three levels, and has an exquisitely painted dome ceiling with cherubs and chandeliers. Photos of Margot Fonteyn, who danced here in 1975, adorn the foyer. Performances are in the evenings - usually at 20:00. Unless you get lucky and someone lets you glimpse inside, you'll need to buy tickets for a performance to visit.
