History


Halkevleri was an important enlightenment project in the early years of Turkish Republic. Mersin branch of Halkevleri was opened on 24 February 1933.[1] The building of Halkevi was planned to meet the demands of the project as a theatre, a concert hall, classrooms, workshops etc. It was designed by architect Ertuğrul Menteşe with the consultants Arif Hikmet Koyunoğlu, Dr. Mukbil Gökdoğan and Raşit Tuğrul. The building was constructed between February 1944 and November 1946.


It went into service on 29 October 1946, the 23rd anniversary of the proclamation of the Republic. Two months later, Mersin residents were able to watch Giacomo Puccini's Madame Butterfly, put on stage by the guest artists from Ankara Opera. The building with a floor area of 4,800 m2 (52,000 sq ft) was the biggest building of the Halkevleri Project.[2] The total expenditure was around 1.12 million Turkish liras.[3] After the Halkevleri Project was terminated by the government on 8 August 1951, a western wing of the building was used as movie theatre and the rest was used as a library and vocational school for girls. On 4 January 1977, the building was handed over to the Ministry of Culture and Tourism.[4] Although officially called cultural center (Turkish: Kültür merkezi) the popular name of the building is still Halkevi.



Present usage


The main hall is used by Mersin Opera. Most of the performances during Mersin International Music Festival are also held in the main hall. The hall sometimes is used for conferences and the like. Mersin Museum is located the east side of the building. The building also hosts various officies and classrooms of the Ministry of Culture.
