Teatr Ziemi Rybnickiej

The Teatr Ziemi Rybnickiej is a modern theatre building with clean lines and functional design located in Rybnik. The building contains a main performance hall seating about 625 people, smaller chamber spaces, a ballet studio, an art gallery called Oblicza, and an outdoor stage.

The theatre was opened in 1964 following the design of three Polish architects: Henryk Buszko, Jerzy Gottfried, and Aleksander Franta. The Rybnicka Philharmonic, which is based there, was founded in 1960 and began its activities before the theatre building was constructed.

The theatre serves as a gathering place for local artists and audiences from the region, hosting performances, concerts, and workshops regularly. It shapes the cultural life of the city and draws visitors interested in experiencing dance, theatre, and music together.

The theatre is centrally located on Plac Teatralny im. Kazimierza Kutza and is easily accessible on foot. Visitors should plan ahead to check available spaces and events, since different performances take place in various halls.

The Rybnicka Philharmonic uses the theatre as its main home despite being founded four years before the building was constructed. This early orchestra quickly became an important part of regional musical life and grew alongside the institution.
