History

edit

The Musical-Drama Theatre was founded on 25 March 1987, by graduates of the Academy of Music, Theatre and Fine Arts of Chișinău. On 17 October 1987, the inauguration festivities took place with the play Trei crai de la răsărit (Three magi from the east), by B.P. Hasdeu.[3]

Building

edit

In 1997, the old building of the theatre was demolished as a result of basement floods and landslides, and all plays and performances moved to the former building of the Cahul Court.[4][5] In February 2016, the construction works for a new building (with a hall of 340 seats) started.[6][7] The construction is built with a grant provided by the Government of Romania.[4]
