Győri Nemzeti Színház
In Győri Nemzeti Színház once stood the city’s main stage, opened on 2 November 1978 as the new home of the Kisfaludy Károly Theatre. Construction ran from 1973 to 1978, planned in the mid-1960s for a hall holding roughly 600–700 seats. The building’s identity was also artistic: it used Greek marble slabs and included two large ceramic works by Victor Vasarely, each measuring 55 by 10 meters. Until 1 January 1992, the institution bore the name Kisfaludy Károly Theatre, after which it became the National Theatre of Győr. By 2008, it recorded 128,283 visitors, making it the 6th most visited theatre in Hungary. The wider story of theatre in Győr stretches back through German-language traditions imported from Vienna, and this modern theatre continued that long cultural thread under Kisfaludy’s name. The theatre building that was erected in the 1970s is now demolished, so this spot has changed beyond the performances it once hosted.
