In order to build this theatre in the 19th century, it was necessary to demolish in 1842 the Hôtel du Cornet d'Or, Hôtel des 3 Poissons and Hôtel de l'Ange, as well as the old theatre. Designed by the architect Guy de Caen, it was completed in 1844. Typical of Italian-style theatre, it has a facade derived from Greek art, sculpted in 1854 by Matagrin and Cléron. Until 1914, there was a performance every day: operetta, opera, vaudeville, and it was sold out. It is still today a popular venue for shows.

Ce petit théâtre est magnifique, c'est un vrai lieu de culture pour Saint-Quentin, je trouve qu'il possède une âme, assister à une représentation en son sein revêt une atmosphère particulière, comme être dans un cocon. De plus, la façade qui se dessine depuis la place de la ville est somptueuse et très attractive.

J'ai visité le théâtre après sa réfection pendant les journées du patrimoine et le guide a tout expliqué: architecture, aspects artistiques, ... Nous avons même vu l'endroit (rue derrière l'entrée principale) où m'on faisait monter les pianos. Magnifique théâtre!
