Royal Theatre, Cultural theater in Thessaloniki, Greece
The Royal Theatre is a theater in Thessaloniki with a main auditorium seating over 800 people. It functions as the home of the National Theatre of Northern Greece and regularly hosts performances across multiple genres.
The building opened in the early 1900s and became the first home of the National Theatre of Northern Greece in 1961. Since then, it has grown into a major cultural venue for the region.
The Royal Theatre presents a mix of Greek classics, international works, and contemporary productions that draw audiences from across the city. These performances reflect the cultural exchange between local artists and European theatrical traditions.
The theater sits in central Thessaloniki and is easy to reach on foot from the main streets. Check ahead to see what is playing and how to get your tickets in advance.
Architect Vasilis Kassandras designed the building in 1951 with architectural features inspired by the Parisian Théâtre des Champs-Élysées. This European influence makes it a special example of international theater design in Greece.
