"In 1616, Bishop Sébastien Zamet appealed to the Congregation of the Oratorians to direct his seminary and train the priests of the diocese there.

The prelate grants newcomers land and buildings of the former Saint-Amâtre priory located in the southern part of his city. The chapel only saw the light of day in 1676. Sober in its dimensions, its plan and its decoration, its entrance door is framed by an Ionic portico surmounted by a pediment.

Abandoned during the Revolution, the chapel was transformed into a performance hall in 1838. The exterior decor testifies to this new destination: masks, scores and musical instruments take place on the pediment.

Entirely renovated in 2000, the theater has a capacity of 250 seats."

"En 1616, l'évêque Sébastien Zamet fait appel à la congrégation des Oratoriens pour diriger son séminaire et y former les prêtres du diocèse.

Le prélat concède aux nouveaux venus terrains et bâtiments de l'ancien prieuré Saint-Amâtre situés dans la partie sud de sa cité. La chapelle ne voit le jour qu'en 1676. Sobre dans ses dimensions, son plan et son décor, sa porte d'entrée est encadrée par un portique d'ordre ionique surmonté d'un fronton.

Désaffectée à la Révolution, la chapelle est transformée en salle de spectacle en 1838. Le décor extérieur témoigne de cette nouvelle destination : masques, partitions et instruments de musique prennent place sur le fronton.

Entièrement rénové en 2000, le théâtre offre une capacité de 250 places."
