Théâtre du Jorat receives further support
Founded in 1908, the Théâtre du Jorat in Vaud is where Honegger's oratorio Le Roi David was premiered. The historic building with space for a thousand spectators is still used intensively today. To keep it that way, the canton and municipality have pledged support for a further three years.
According to the agreement, which was officially signed on August 19, the theater, a characteristic wooden building located 15 kilometers from Lausanne in the middle of the small village of Mézières, will be supported between 2013 and 2015.
It will thus be tasked with offering a high-quality program with a local focus and attracting new audiences in addition to existing subscribers. Financial details of the agreement are not included in the canton's announcement.
