Project Description: 

The project concerns the overall renovation and reconstruction of the Royal Theatre Building. Constructed on designs by architects K. Doxiadis and A. Scepters, the building was inaugurated in 1940 and is now the oldest surviving theatre in Thessaloniki. The Royal Theatre has for many decades been the venue for great performances by famous artists of the Greek post-war drama, and has up to now been the home of the Second Stage of the State Theatre of Northern Greece. The project actually concerns the construction of a new theatre, maintaining its original shape and increasing its depth. The new Royal Theatre will be the most significant theatre hall for prose, but it will also serve as the venue for other forms of art, such as dance and musical performances, cultural events, movie screenings, conferences, exhibitions, etc. Its main hall is of a capacity of 800 seats, while the Experimental Stage has a seating capacity of 150 people.

The project is currently under construction.
