Mihai Eminescu National Theatre, Timișoara
The Mihai Eminescu National Theatre ( ro, Teatrul Național „Mihai Eminescu”) is a theatre company in Timișoara, Romania, subordinated to the Ministry of Culture. It shares the same building with the Romanian National Opera, the Csiky Gergely Hungarian State Theatre and the German State Theatre. It was founded in 1945 after decades of concerted efforts to establish a Romanian-language theatre in the city.

In the absence of the right and the possibilities to establish artistic institutions, during this period a rich amateur activity of Romanian "dilettante" troupes flourished. The ''Society of Dilettantes from Timișoara'', made up of 13 members, started its activity in the old districts of the city ( Maiere and Fabric). Using the stages of some public places, especially cafes, the ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
