History
The theatre was built between 1872 and 1875 in the neo-Renaissance style according to plans by the Viennese architects Ferdinand Fellner and Hermann Helmer. It was originally named after Franz Joseph. The building also housed a ballroom, a concert hall, a hotel, a café and a restaurant. It was used jointly by the German and Hungarian companies, and from 1885 it had a permanent Hungarian company. It burnt down in 1880, but was rebuilt in its original form.
It burnt down again in 1920 and was only rebuilt in 1928 in the neo-Byzantine style, according to the plans of Marcu Duiliu, during which the interior was replaced and the exterior lost its former appearance. It was then that this mask was placed in front of the facade, behind which the original facade remains almost intact.
The building hosts performances of the Romanian Opera and the Mihai Eminescu Romanian National Theatre, while the former ballroom is home to the State German Theatre and the Csíky Gergely Hungarian Theatre.
