History
The theatre was built between 1885 and 1886 according to the plans of Fellner Nándor and Helm Henrik. The theatre was opened on 22 September 1886 with the staging of Ban Bánk, the famous drama of the Hungarian playwright Katona József. The entire Hungarian government took part in the celebration with the leadership of Prime Minister Tisza Kálmán. The famous Hungarian writer Jókai Mór was also present and he wrote a prologue for this event. The Hungarian composer Erkel Ferenc conducted the performance of the Hungarian Royal Opera personally. He composed the opera based on the drama of Katona József. The busts of Katona József, Liszt Ferenc, Mozart, Goethe and Shakespeare decorate the facade. Originally the bust of Kölcsey Ferenc, the poet of the national anthem of Hungary, was located where now the bust of Mozart can be seen.
