"The Royal Theater is located on the Grand-Place in Mons. This neoclassical building, erected between 1841 and 1843, rests on a ground floor with arcades.

This cultural center in Mons has undergone major renovations over the years. It now offers better acoustic quality and includes access for people with reduced mobility.

Artist Alexandre Obolensky painted a trompe-l'oeil sky, from dawn to starry night. This 35-meter-long canvas follows the steps of the visitor, from the entrance hall to the bar below. "

L'artiste Alexandre Obolensky a peint un ciel en trompe-l'oeil, de l'aube à la nuit étoilée. Cette toile de 35 mètres de long accompagne les pas du visiteur, du hall d'entrée jusqu'au bar en contrebas. "
