Juliusz Słowacki Theatre, Opera house and theatre in central Kraków, Poland
The Juliusz Słowacki Theatre exhibits eclectic architecture with Baroque elements, featuring a grand exterior design similar to the Palais Garnier in Paris.
Constructed in 1893 on Holy Spirit Square, the building replaced a 14th-century church and monastery, receiving its current name in 1909 to honor the Polish poet.
The theatre became a central location for the Young Poland movement, introducing works by Stanisław Wyspiański and hosting performances by Helena Modrzejewska.
The venue includes multiple performance spaces: the main stage, the Small Stage in a former electric plant, and additional stages Next to the Pump and in the Gate.
In 1980, the theatre presented the world premiere of Pope John Paul II's play Our God's Brother, marking a significant moment in Polish theatrical history.
