Lovely place and must see in Belgrade. Opera or ballet doesn’t matter - go and enjoy this dreamland. Such a romantic place classy and lovely. So much to see and such great quality. Went to numerous performances but have to say that 200th performance of • ko to tamo peva “ ballet was an extraordinary experience. Don Quichot was phenomenal also. Pure joy. This is one of a special places in Serbia and in Europe. Love it.

Regardless of whether you prefer the opera, ballet and drama going to National Theatre is the first choice.The theatre was bulit in 1868, and during almost 150 years of existance it was reconstructed few times. Unfortunately, once due to the bombing during World War II. As a result of additions and reconstruction of the theater facade is a combination of Baroque and Art Nouveau. After last reconstruction interior has regained its old splendor which had in the 19th century- they returned to the hall of the lodge, the whole covered in red velvet, returned the gold - silver decorations on the ceilings, painted ceilings were restored which was initially done by the famous Russian painter Stepan Kolesnikov. In the foyer they restored relief molding, gilding, marble floors, mirrors and crystal chandeliers. So, apart from the fact that you will have chance to enjoy a perfect performance of opera, ballet or drama you will spend time in a worm, welcoming atmosphere.

The whole building looks great from outside, and inside is wonderful too. Very small comparing to average theaters, however, very comfortable.
We watched 'Swan Lake' last night, the ticket was cheap (800 din per person) less than $10 for the 2nd row seat. Actually, due to the size of the theater, all the seats can get good view. :) Although the show wasn't top-notch, but the whole experience was fantastic. Don't miss it if you are in Belgrade - Recommended!

National Theatre is located in Republic Square, the main square of Belgrade, where all people meet each other. It is a classical theatre, which you can see from all parts of the square. Nice a photo with Prince Mihailo Monument.

Here you can see one of many excellent ballet and opera shows for very decent prices. Just go to the tix office located inside the theatre and ask for schedule. Keep in mind that theatre is closed during summer months.

The National Theatre represents a modern union of old and modern in architecture, and technically speaking, one of the most modern theatres in the world.

Old building, old & new shows.... If you are into architecture, it's a beautiful XIX c. building to see, and if you wish to enjoy good theatre, this one is one of the best in Belgrade

We arrived for a backstage tour from our Danube river cruise, with a small group.
The tour was excellent . We heard stories from one of the theatre managers which gave us an insight into the history of the place as well as some of the many famous performers who have performed here.
We were able to go onto the stage during a rehearsal for the opera being performed that evening and were able to watch some of the rehearsals.
Great to see the wardrobe rooms and hear stories of the challenges the wardrobe people have to face and the amount of work that goes into making the various versions of the costumes for each performance, for leads plus understudies. Incredible amount of work. The staging and scenery was interesting, including the different flooring required for ballets, with sprung floors etc.
The tour ended following a visit to the theatre museum, ( really interesting), with a private operatic performance from 2 of the lead sopranos (4 pieces) whilst we sipped a glass of fizz. Brilliant performances from Biljana Jovanovic, and Isidora Stevanovic. Such brilliant voices at close quarters meant that we felt their full power, which was amazing and emotional a great finale to a great backstage tour. This is a highlight of our entire trip and definitely to be recommended to anyone interested in musical performances and theatre.
