History
The old town hall stood on its site from the 14th century untill 1756. The predecessor of the theatre was built between 1786 and 1789 by Count Sztáray Mihály and Count Vécsey Miklós. This building included a theatre, a casino, a dancing hall (Vigadó) and a café. The premiere of the "Ban Bánk", the famous drama of the Hungarian playwright Katona József, was here on February 15, 1833. The building was closed in 1894 for safety concerns and was demolished in 1897.
The current building of the theatre was built between 1897 and 1899 according to the plans of Lang Adolf. The construction was managed by Répászky Mihály, the famous architect of Kassa. At the end of World War II the Hungarian inhabitants of Kassa were expelled and the theatre was renamed to Slovak State Theatre.
