Elhamra Theater, Movie theater in central İzmir, Turkey
The Elhamra Theater stands as a concrete structure painted in greenish-yellow tones, featuring a green dome and marble-framed wooden entrances.
Built in 1926 by architect Tahsin Sermet Bey, the Elhamra Theater was established to provide financial support for the İzmir National Library.
The theater presented the first screening of The Jazz Singer in İzmir, marking the introduction of sound films to the local audience.
The Turkish Ministry of Culture and Tourism renovated the building in 1980, transforming it into the current home of İzmir State Opera and Ballet.
The building combines Turkish Neoclassical architecture with symmetrical composition, incorporating both eastern and western design elements in its structure.
