Odeon Theatre

The Odeon Theatre is a performance venue in central Bucharest along Calea Victoriei. The building forms part of a larger complex with residential spaces, shops, and the Majestic Hotel, and contains an auditorium with approximately three hundred seats.

The theatre was designed in 1911 by architect Grigore Cerchez on land that had previously belonged to a 17th century estate official. This creation marked the establishment of a cultural venue within a city undergoing modernization and growth.

The theatre has long served as a gathering place for Bucharest's cultural community and continues to shape the city's artistic life. Visitors experience contemporary and classical works performed by local artists within its intimate setting.

The venue is easily reached along a main street in the city center and is accessible on foot. It is worth checking performance schedules in advance to plan your visit accordingly.

A bronze bust of Mustafa Kemal Atatürk stands at the building's entrance, marking historical cultural ties between Romania and Turkey. This unexpected sculpture tells a story of diplomatic and artistic connections shared between the two nations.
