Litomyšl Palace Theatre, Palace theatre in Litomyšl, Czech Republic
The Litomyšl Palace Theatre features a cylindrical vaulted auditorium measuring 10 by 20 meters with excellent stage visibility from multiple positions throughout the space.
The theatre opened its doors in 1798 after a previous structure was destroyed by fire in 1768, commissioned by Count Jiří Josef of Valdštejn-Vartemberk for ceremonial purposes.
Imperial court painter Josef Platzer created over 200 stage decorations for the theatre, while Dominik Dvořák designed the interior using light shades for the auditorium.
The theatre operates as part of guided tours through Litomyšl Castle, with electrical installations added in 1957 to support modern performances and visitor access.
The theatre maintains its original wooden stage machinery and lighting equipment from the 18th century, presenting historical theatrical practices in their authentic form.
