New building of the Slovak National Theatre in Bratislava

In 1979, 53 creative teams took part in the national Czechoslovak competition to design the new building of the Slovak National Theatre in Bratislava. The project was started in 1986 and completed in 2007. The theatre building is a nearly symmetrical composition of two basic spaces – the opera hall and the drama hall. They are connected in a theatre square that is open towards the Danube river.
Architects: Peter Bauer, Martin Kusý, Pavol Paňák
