THEATRE, DANCE AND ART There are some local folklore and dramatic societies that occasionally perform cultural shows and plays. The old opera house in Port Louis (Municipal Theatre; % 212 1090), built in 1822, has been lovingly restored and is a fine setting for local drama with performances usually in the evenings. The Plaza Theatre (Royal Rd, Rose Hill; % 424 1145) is part of the Beau Bassin/Rose Hill town hall complex, a Baroque 1920s creation by Coultrac Mazérieux which has become a prestigious venue for Mauritian and foreign cultural activities.
