Conferences
Several meetings are also held at Halmstad Theatre every week. Both large conferences and smaller meetings. We can help you to tailor your meetings to suit your particular business, association or organisation.
An artistic pensioner
While waiting for the performance to begin, you can study the art that can be found on both the ceilings and the walls. Halmstad Theatre is richly adorned with art. In the foyer, for example, there is a large mural, to which all the artists in the Halmstad group have contributed.
The Halmstad group is well represented, with works by its members all around the theatre. In addition, both auditoriums and conference rooms have been named after members of the group. As well as the Halmstad group, there are also works by Sven X:et Erixon, Liss Eriksson and Barbro Nilsson.
Inauguration
Halmstad Theatre, this gem of an experience venue, was inaugurated in November 1954 and celebrated its 65th birthday in 2019. The Dance of Death, a play written by August Strindberg, was performed at the premiere.
During the inauguration, a journalist from Hallandsposten wrote “It has an exterior that impresses thanks to its clean surfaces. The functionalism that the architects have worked with has created festivity without ostentation and monumentality without overloading. Anyone who takes the time to look more closely will finds how small, insignificant details complete the whole.” The building became famous right across the country as it had the largest auditorium outside of the major cities.
