Guided Story

Imagine stepping back to 1774, the year this theater first opened its doors. Take a look around; the stunning architecture tells tales of a bygone era. Did you know that back in the 18th century, audiences would light the theater themselves with candles? Behind you, the grand St. Stephen's Cathedral stands tall, its organ music sometimes drifting over here. Look up, and you can almost see how the chandeliers would cast a warm glow over the audience. With just 350 seats, the theater creates an intimate setting that makes every performance feel special. Get swept away by the magic of the shows and enjoy an evening filled with art and culture.
