Yugoslav Drama Theatre, Professional theater in central Belgrade, Serbia.
The Yugoslav Drama Theatre is a multi-stage performance venue located in the centre of Belgrade, Serbia. It has a main stage for large productions and smaller spaces that host experimental and studio works.
The theatre was founded in 1947, bringing together performers from across Yugoslavia, with its first show in 1948. A fire destroyed the building in 1997, and it reopened in 2003 after a full reconstruction.
The theatre stages works by Serbian and international playwrights, from classical texts to contemporary pieces that draw regular audiences. It sits at the heart of Belgrade's theatrical life, with new productions appearing throughout the season.
Arriving early at the box office gives you a better choice of seats for popular shows. The venue is easy to reach on foot or by bus, as it sits in the centre of Belgrade.
After the 1997 fire, an architecture competition was held, and Zoran Radojičić won with an entirely new design rather than a restoration of the old building. The current structure shares only its location with the original, not its shape or style.
