Empire Theatre, NKP

The theater was built in 1802 by Jozef Erdödy. It is the only preserved noble theater in Central Europe. The main builder of the theater (Commedie Hau) was the famous builder Pietro Travaglia; he was probably also the author of the sculptural decoration of the outer facade.

The building has a simple rectangular floor plan with facades divided by plastic squares. Interesting is the decoration above the cornice, where the coats of arms of the Erdödy family are placed, and below it are inscription boards about the construction of the theater. Under the cornice, there are figural reliefs on the facade. Anti-aging motifs depicting children's figures with musical instruments while picking and pressing grapes are used. The interior of the theater is decorated with Empire paintings. At the time of its greatest glory, the theater hosted the Italian opera company, actors from the Viennese and Budapest theater scenes. The presence of the composer Ludwig van Beethoven is a tradition. Today, the theater has been renovated and is widely available for various cultural and social events throughout the year.
