Description
On October 14, 1895, a theater building was inaugurated in Zagreb for about 750 spectators in which the Croatian National Theater operates today. The neo-baroque building of HNK is a masterpiece of late history of Austrian architect Ferdinand Fellner and German architect Hermann Helmer, and the opening was attended by Franjo Josip I.
To this day, numerous world-class artists, writers, actors, conductors, and opera and ballet performers have performed and performed there. The HNC also has seven painted curtains, which are mostly on stage on solemn occasions, and the most famous of them is the work of Illyrian Revival by Vlaho Bukovac.
The theater is also surrounded by numerous buildings and monuments of high historical value, such as the University of Zagreb, the Museum of Arts and Crafts, the Zdenca Life, etc., so many of them are the most beautiful in the city.

I could have sworn it's the Słowacki Theater in Krakow, Poland. Big similarity. :)

We are also of similar culture, and it was probably also built in neo-baroque. :)
