The National Theatre "Vasile Alecsandri", Iasi (must see)
The Ia葯i National Theatre is the oldest national theatre and one of the most commercially successful in Romania, operational since May 1840. In February 1888, the original theatre building completely burned down. The restoration took two years (1894-1896), and was run by Viennese architects, Fellner and Helmer. The result was a combination of Neoclassic exterior and lavishly decorated interior, featuring a mixture of Rococo and Baroque styles, earning the building the status of one of the most elegant in Romania. In 1956, marking the 140th anniversary of the first theatrical performance in the Romanian language, the theater was named after of Romania's prominent playwright and poet Vasile Alecsandri. Today, this is a listed National Historic Monument and also home to the Romanian National Iasi Opera.
