The Vörösmarty Theatre in Székesfehérvár is one of the most modern and still one of the oldest theatres. The original theatre was opened on 22^nd August 1874 and at the inauguration Mór Jokai and Pál Gyulai were present representing the Kisfaludy Association as well as László Arany and Ferenc Pulszky representing the Hungarian Academy of Sciences. The inaugural speech written by Jókai for this event was delivered by Róza Laborfalvy; the gala performance was Bánk Bán from József Katona. The theatre in Fehérvár had a great past and played a glorious role in the history of Hungarian acting.

The most prominent Hungarian actors and actresses appeared on its stage: Irén Varsányi, Gyula Hegedűs, Kálmán Rózsahegyi, Margit Ladomerszky, Gizi Bajor.

During World War II, in 1944, the historic theatre was destroyed, and was completely burnt out. Through a large community effort the people of the city rebuilt the theatre that opened again on 7^th November 1962: at this time the Budapest National Theatre performed Csongor és Tünde from Vörösmarty with the leading roles played by Mari Törőcsik and Tibor Bitskey and directed by Endre Marton. The building of the theatre was renovated in 2005. The former fittings on the inside were completely removed, the auditorium was given back its theatrical characteristic, its circle was removed and boxes were built and now the whole auditorium has air-conditioning. The Great Theatre was given state-of-the-art technology: new lighting bridges, new spotlights and motorised scene-shifting mechanism replaced the former, out-of-date stage technology.
