Reconstruction of Yugoslav Drama Theatre

Personally this theatre means a lot to me, firstly because of all actors I adore are there, and second this place is a symbol of art, knowledge and talent.

The National Theatre in Belgrade

Main theme of my blogs starting from this one will be theatres, the reason is that I want to return them into a life. I want theatres to be a new Mc Donald. I'm afraid of forgetting most important thing - which is our culture.

I've decided to begin my first blog with a symbol of my hometown - National Theatre.

Firstly I'm gonna introduce you since its founding. The National Theatre was founded in the latter half of the 19th century. It is located on Republique Square, in Belgrade, Serbia.  

Ancient National Theatre

The National Theatre Belgrade has 2 halls for performing arts:

Main stage

The Grand Hall has 3 levels. The ground level has 219 seats in total with the seats at the front being most expensive. There are 3 balconies in the theatre with the first one being the most expensive. Large operas, dramas and ballets are presented at the Grand Hall.

Raša Plaović Stage

Raša Plaović has 281 seats and with no balconies. It is much smaller and less beautiful then the Grand Hall. Smaller scale dramas are played out on this stage. 

My recommendation for children would be balet ,,Peter Pan", which is also ageless. The older generations will enjoy in remarkable pieces of Raša Plaović Stage. The main cources here are the drama, opera and ballet.

Conclusion would be that there is something for everyone.


Enjoy!
