Accommodation Historická budova SND

The Historická budova SND is one of the landmarks in Bratislava. This Neo-Renaissance building on Hviezdoslavovo námestie is currently the seat of the Slovenské národné divadlo. You can come to enjoy opera, ballet, or drama in this unique space. Rest assured that a fantastic experience awaits you here.

In Bratislava – Staré Mesto, a building housing a city theater, built by Count Juraj Csáky, stood on the site of this historical building as early as 1776. The current Historická budova SND was constructed based on designs by architects Ferdinand Fellner and Hermann Helmer. They built over 50 buildings across Europe in an eclectic style. The building was completed in 1886, and the actors who first stepped onto the boards that mean the world were from Hungary and Germany. They performed as guests on the stage until 1920.

In 1920, the Slovenské národné divadlo began writing its history. Operas, ballets, and drama plays were presented to audiences until the 1950s. Subsequently, after a hall for drama was established, the Historická budova SND was reserved for opera and ballet. The theater has undergone several renovations. The most fundamental one was carried out in 1972. Since then, only certain parts have been renovated.

The building will captivate you at first sight. Its exterior is grand, preserved in an eclectic style. The centerpiece consists of 5 busts of prominent personalities located on its facade. Originally, there were original busts of F. Liszt, W. Shakespeare, J. W. Goethe, and two Hungarian writers, J. Katona and M. Vörösmarty. In 1936, they were taken down during repairs, and to prevent their destruction, they were placed in the Slovenská národná galéria. Currently, there are copies on the facade, where a bust of W. A. Mozart stands instead of the bust of Vörösmarty. In front of the building, the artistically valuable Ganymedova fontána will also catch your attention.

You can visit the Historická budova SND anytime during the theater season from September to the end of June. Performances are usually held every day on a stage that is 18 m wide, 17.5 m deep, and 21.3 m high. Overall, it can provide a perfect theater experience for approximately 600 people.
