It has impressive architectural details from the both inside and outside, but could be made more energy efficient and technologically advanced with the ability of preserving the original look. Also, the ticketing can be all digital instead of paper. The overall location is great. The history of this theater began in 1885, when it opened as Teatro Comunale (Municipal Theater). In 1913, it was renamed Teatro Comunale Giuseppe Verdi, and in 1946, it became known as Narodno kazalište (National Theater). In 1953, it received its current name in honor of Ivan Zajc, a composer from Rijeka. The theater was built in the Neo-Baroque style, designed by architects Ferdinand Fellner and Hermann Helmer. Its exterior is adorned with sculptures by Austrian sculptor Reinhold Völkel, while the ceiling inside features frescoes painted collaboratively by Franz Matsch, Gustav Klimt, and Ernst Klimt. It was also the first building in Rijeka to be equipped with electric lighting. Today, the theater hosts four artistic divisions—Croatian drama, Italian drama, opera, and ballet—and offers a wide range of performances and programs that contribute to the cultural life of the community and its audiences. Pretty place and a quiet park to view it from A beautiful piece or architecture! Unfortunately we couldn't get in else I believe I'd give it a 5* rating. Still the walk to this Theatre is worth your time as you'll probably pass by the Market, Mercato, and the park just in front of it. Bello, situato un una bella piazzetta con un piccolo parco pulito e ben tenuto 1800년대 리예카는 독재 정부 아래 경제 불황, 콜레라 유행하며 힘든 시절을 보냄. 이에 당시 시장 시오타가 건설하였다. Vrlo lijepi ambijent i izvrsne izvedbe kazališnih predstava iako bi trebala kompletna obnova zgrade... Glumcima sve pohvale. Bravo! Samo nastavite tako. Za svaku preporuku. Od dolaska nove intendantice, HNK je procvao u punom sjaju. Nedavno odledana West Side Story u kednom dahu. Fenomenalno. Zaista sve pohvale. We enjoyed the NY gala concert, the conductor was unbelievable, highly recommend to visit The inside of the theater is very very nice, they have good shows and the atmosphere is great. The outside needs some renovation. Very friendly staff, but the building is completely falling apart. There are far too few restrooms and in the ladies restroom, the toilet seat on the only toilet was broken off and laying on the floor. Bits of the wall were missing, exposing pipes. Madama Butterfly was, however, quite good. Lovely costumes and staging. Good singing by Knego, Vunić, Mihaylov and Kolar. Prekrasno Unfortunately, it was closed when we wanted to visit, and we couldn’t find any visiting hours posted. The website didn’t mention that it would be closed. Interesting exhibition showcasing the history of the beautiful building and also theatre in general - celebrating the different professions who create the experiences from ticket sellers to directors via milliners. Magnificent ceiling can be viewed up close, it includes three pieces by Gustaf Klimt at the start of his career. Well worth the eur 5.50 entry fee- Information in English on all the panels and on a Friday night in December I had it to myself so the visit was very pleasant, distant sounds of trumpet rehearsals somewhere in the building as an extra bonus. Saturday night Broadway show an experience as well and ticket prices very reasonable. The theatre in Rijeka far exceeds the expectations you could have for the theatre of such a small city as Rijeka. No matter whether you're visiting for a persormance in ballet, opera, theatre or whatever else is currently on you will find stunning set design, sparkling costumes and performers pouring their all into their performances. Last but not least the tickets are very cheap compared to other houses. Make sure to allow yourself to be bewitched by this truly special cultural establishment.
