Bucharest Photo Album

The Romanian theatre house has a fascinating history. Initially, the building was located on the historical Calea Victoriei (Victory Avenue) but last century's wars destroyed it. However, art was not affected for a too long lapse of time because Romanian architects have created a new house with an impressive stage, which allows those concerned to make any artistic experiments from the classical to the avant-garde ones. The Bucharest National Theatre is the most important stage of the country, where the actors of genius of Romania have brought to life historic texts. The National Theatre was the perfect host of the 1996 Festival of the European Theatres Union, but also for all the important Romanian festivals which are drawing closer to the Academy awards ceremony in terms of splendour.
