Teatrul Clasic Ioan Slavici

The Ioan Slavici Classical Theatre in Arad is one of the oldest theatrical institutions in Romania, with a history reaching back to the middle of the nineteenth century. The imposing building in the town centre, raised in a classicist style, was conceived as a house of culture for the multi-ethnic community of Arad, where over time performances were given in several languages. The elegant hall, with boxes and period decoration, has hosted many premieres and tours by great artists.

The institution bears the name of the writer Ioan Slavici, one of the classics of Romanian literature, who came from the Arad area. Today the theatre continues a rich stage activity, showcasing both the classical repertoire and contemporary works. The façade and interior are an example of nineteenth-century civil architecture.

Visitors can admire the building and choose a performance from the season. It is advisable to check the schedule and how to obtain tickets.
