Nice building in front of a nice park
Built in 1885 as a city theatre according to the design of the specialized Vienna Helmer and Fellner workshop, which designed similar buildings throughout the Austro-Hungary of the time. Matsch, Kauffungen and Fritsch, and the Klimt brothers, permanent associates of the workshop, were charged with equipping the theatre, contributing to the pronounced central European atmosphere of the town. The exterior is adorned by figurative compositions of Music and Drama by Venetian sculptor Benvenutti. The opening of the theatre was marked by a performance of Verdi's Aida.

Try to get inside! That's where it's at!
Try to get inside! That's where it's at! Yes, the outside is beautiful and worth a gander but if there's an event going on of any kind do what you can to go. It is so very worth it. I got lucky and found a door in the back that was open and an employee pointed out the box office across the street (on the right if you're facing the building). The was a dance recital starting in about an hour so for just over five USDollars I got to experience that magic and spend lots of time enjoying the luscious interior including the ceiling art done in part by Gustav Klimit who painted the famous work, the Kiss. This is really a must see if you can.

Beaut of a building
A lovely, large building smack dab in the center of the Old Town of Rijeka. It's impressive, with a nice park to sit in and enjoy the surroundings. Looking forward to seeing the interior which is so raved about locally.
