The Ivan Vazov National Theater in Sofia celebrates today the 110th anniversary since the official opening of its building.
On January 3, 1907 in the Bulgarian capital city, the exceptionally beautiful Baroque-style building of the theater opened for visitors. It was designed by famous architects Ferdinand Fellner and Hermann Helmer. In 1923, during a performance a fire broke out in the theater. The building was reconstructed in the period 1924-1928, according to a project by German architect Martin Duelfer.
In addition to the new iron-concrete construction, stage equipment and machinery produced by companies "Krupp" and "Mann," which only the best theaters in Europe had, was delivered from Germany. The equipment has been used since 1929 to this very day during all performances on the big stage of the theater.
