National Theatre of Northern Greece, Cultural institution and theatre company in Thessaloniki, Greece
The National Theatre of Northern Greece is a cultural institution in Thessaloniki housed within the Society of Macedonian Studies complex. It operates six performance spaces total, comprising four indoor halls and two open-air venues.
The institution was founded in 1961 and initially presented performances at the Royal Theatre before relocating to its current venue. This move represented a significant step in developing the performing arts infrastructure of the region.
The theatre serves as a hub for those interested in dramatic arts and stage performance in the city. It brings together actors, audiences, and local artists through its regular productions and educational programs.
The complex has multiple entrances and information areas at its individual buildings. Visitors should check in advance which theatre venue corresponds to their chosen performance, since the performance spaces are located at different points.
One of its buildings, Megaron B, was designed by architect Vasilis Kassandras modeled after Paris's Théâtre des Champs-Élysées. This design approach gives the space distinctive acoustic and visual qualities that many visitors overlook.
