Cluj-Napoca Hungarian Opera

Cluj-Napoca Hungarian Opera is an opera company performing in an early 20th century building with 862 seats and stages works from famous composers like Tchaikovsky and Puccini. The venue features both historic architectural details and modern performance facilities.

The opera company was founded in 1948 and took up residence in the Hungarian Theatre, which had been built between 1909 and 1910. This location became the home for the organization's performances and cultural mission.

The company performs a mix of classic and modern works that draws both Hungarian-speaking communities and international visitors to its stage. The repertoire reflects the cultural preferences of Transylvania's diverse audience.

Visitors can explore the building's traditional architecture and attend rotating performances throughout the year. Guided tours are available to learn more about the venue's history and design.

Between 1959 and 1961 the building underwent major reconstruction to improve its technical systems while keeping its original character intact. This careful renovation allows visitors to experience both the historic structure and contemporary performance capabilities.
