Cluj-Napoca National Theatre

Résumé

The Lucian Blaga National Theatre (Romanian: Teatrul Național Lucian Blaga) is in Cluj-Napoca, Romania, sharing its building with the Romanian Opera. The theatre was built between 1904 and 1906 by the Austrian architects Ferdinand Fellner and Hermann Helmer, who designed several theatres and palaces across Europe in the late 19th and early 20th century, including the theatres in Iași, Oradea, Timișoara, and Chernivtsi (Cernăuți). The project was financed using only private capital: Sandor Ujfalfy bequeathed his domains and estates from Szolnok-Doboka County to the National Theatre Fund from Kolozsvár. The theatre opened on 8 September 1906 with Ferenc Herczeg's Bujdosók. Until 1919, as Cluj was part of the Kingdom of Hungary, it was home to the local Hungarian National Theatre (Nemzeti Színház). The last performance of the Hungarian troupe was Shakespeare's Hamlet, September 30, 1919. Since 1919, when Cluj passed under Romanian administration, the building has been home to the local Romanian National Theatre and Romanian Opera, while the local Hungarian Theatre and Opera received the theatre building in Emil Isac street, close to the Central Park and the Someșul Mic River. After the Second Vienna Award of 1940 and the annexation of Northern Transylvania by Hungary, the building was again the home of the Hungarian Theatre. On 31 October 1944 the Romanian and Hungarian actors celebrating the freedom of the city held a common benefit performance for Russian and Romanian wounded soldiers. The hall has a capacity of 928 places. It is in the Neo-baroque style, with some inflexions inspired by the Secessionism in the decoration of the foyer. The building of the National Theatre in Cluj-Napoca is listed in the National Register of Historic Monuments. The Romanian National Theatre was officially opened on 18 September 1919, simultaneously with the Romanian Opera and the Gheorghe Dima National Music Academy. The inaugural performance, Poemul Unirei (The Unification Poem) by Zaharia Bârsan, took place on 1 December 1919.
