Farkas utcai színház, First Hungarian theater in Cluj-Napoca, Romania
The stone building combines neoclassical and baroque architectural elements, featuring ornamental details on its facade and a grand performance hall with 800 seats.
Construction of the theater began in September 1803 under architect Antal Alföldi and his assistant Antal Schütz, leading to its inauguration on March 12, 1821.
The theater presented works by notable authors including Gergely Csiky, Mór Jókai, and William Shakespeare, establishing itself as a center for Hungarian dramaturgy.
The theater operated until 1906, when performances moved to the new National Theater building in Hunyadi Square, and the original structure was demolished between 1934-1935.
In 2012, a commemorative plaque was installed at the location of the former theater, now occupied by the Academic College building.
