Thalia Hall

Thalia Hall sits within the Thick Tower section of the former defensive wall and offers about 428 seats for performances and events. The building combines its historic location with functional facilities for cultural activities.

Construction began in 1787 and was completed in 1788, making it the first established theater in Romania under architect Martin Hochmeister. Two major fires in 1826 and 1949 required extensive rebuilding that shaped its current form.

The State Philharmonic of Sibiu performs regularly here with classical concerts and theatrical productions. The ensemble shapes the city's cultural life through its diverse programming.

The box office on site and official website provide information about upcoming events and allow you to reserve seats. It is wise to book in advance, especially for popular performances.

The building was rebuilt in its current form after the devastating fire of 1949 and displays details from both its original architecture and later renovations. Visitors can discover these layers of reconstruction history in the visible structures.
