Cluj-Napoca National Theatre

The Neo-baroque structure stands in the center of Cluj-Napoca with Art Nouveau details and holds both theater and opera performances in its 928-seat auditorium.

Architects Ferdinand Fellner and Hermann Helmer completed this theater in 1906, initially serving as the Hungarian National Theatre until 1919 after World War I.

The first opera performed in this venue was Giuseppe Verdi's Aida, conducted by Alfred Novak, marking the beginning of Romanian National Opera productions.

The theatre maintains an active schedule of plays, operas, and ballet performances throughout the year, with tickets available at the box office.

During World War II, territorial changes forced the Romanian Opera to temporarily relocate to Timișoara, where it operated until returning to Cluj-Napoca.
