Petőfi Theatre, Art Nouveau theatre in Sopron, Hungary
The Petőfi Theatre presents a distinctive Art Nouveau design with decorative elements and architectural features created by István Medgyaszay in 1909.
Following fire safety concerns with the previous Neoclassical theatre from 1840, the municipal council allocated 200,000 crowns for a complete renovation in March 1909.
The theatre staged productions of international playwrights including Shakespeare, Gogol, Goldoni, and Ibsen, while also hosting performances by Hungarian composers Kodály and Kálmán.
The venue offers online ticket purchases through their website and presents a variety of shows including drama pieces, operettas, and youth productions throughout the year.
In 1937, composer Imre Kálmán attended the performance of his operetta 'A Csárdáskirálynő' at this theatre, marking a notable moment in its musical history.
