Theatre, Opera and Ballet

The Theatre of Drama is in the city centre. It was built nearly a century ago after the fashion of the city of Vienna. It houses a theatre, an opera and philharmonic halls. Its foundations were laid by actors in the French Army during the Crimean War of 1856. The first theatrical performance of Bulgarian drama was given here. Not far away is the Puppet Theatre, where the Golden Dolphin Festival of Puppets takes place each year.
