National Theatre Košice, State theatre in Košice, Slovakia
The National Theatre presents performances in a Neo-baroque building with ornate plaster decorations and a lyre-shaped stage that optimizes acoustic properties.
Built between 1879 and 1899 by architects Adolf Lang and Antal Steinhardt, the theatre replaced an outdated structure after the Ringtheater fire in Vienna.
The ceiling features four paintings depicting scenes from Shakespeare plays, including Othello, Romeo and Juliet, King Lear, and A Midsummer Night's Dream.
Located in District of Košice I, the theatre maintains full wheelchair accessibility and presents regular performances of opera, drama, and ballet productions.
The opening night in 1899 featured József Katona's Bánk Bán, while construction images were displayed at the International Exhibition in Paris.
