The Municipal Theatre of Cahors is located the main thoroughfare through the centre of the city, and is a striking piece of municipal design. It was first opened in 1835, and is home to a large and particularly grand auditorium with a good capacity for a community of this size. Owned by the local authority, the theatre has a commitment to showing an eclectic variety of events throughout the year, ranging from stage plays and musical events, to comedy and dance.
