 Slovak National Theatre by Ekaterinburg Between the river and the Old Town is Hviezdoslavovo Namestie, a long street with fountains and statues, which incorporates the lovely cobbled square containing the Slovak National Theatre. We spotted the theatre the minute we got out of the bus and were delighted to find that this was where we would be going to the ballet, later on in the evening. It's a cheery yellow colour which slightly offsets the formality of its neo-classical facade and the busts of Mozart, Goethe, Shakespeare and other artistic luminaries. An evening performance of "Sleeping Beauty' gave us a chance to check out the interior and it was even more impressive than we expected. A completely circular auditorium with gold gilding everywhere - beautiful - and superb orchestra and dancers. All this cost EUR 20, a fraction of what it would cost in most European cities. The box office for SNT is at Kommenske Square, just behind the building. Tickets for both opera and ballet, start at around EUR 18.

 The Reduta by Ekaterinburg Diagonally opposite the SNT, and directly opposite the Hotel Carlton, is the secessionist Reduta, home of the Slovak National Philharmonic. This building, painted a bright cream colour, has many interesting architectural features and is home to a casino and restaurant as well. This is where all the classical music concerts are held and again these are very cheap compared with prices in other cities. The Slovak National Philharmonic has been around now for 59 years and is highly regarded internationally. The box office is situated in the Reduta building and is open from Monday to Friday. Wednesdays: 8.00am - 2.00 pm; other days: 1.00 pm - 7.00 pm. Their website is excellent and gives full details of all the chamber orchestras, choir and philharmonic as well as an online schedule and booking facility.

by Angelinka Bratislava has a rich cultural life. One of the most famous theatres here is Slovak National Theatre. If you have passion for art like me you can enjoy time also here. You can attend at Opera and Balet plays Leave a Comment

 The not-so-artistic frontage of the SNG by Ekaterinburg This is not my description of the Slovak National Gallery. I think this description, ( which was the opinion of our guide ) is inaccurate and a little unfair. Certainly, the front of the building as seen from the riverside is a monument to ugliness in its worst form but that is not the whole story. The photo shows this fairly gross communist architectural feat but behind that is a nice grassed courtyard and the bulk of the gallery which is housed in a converted naval barracks and a former palace. Most of the interesting works of art are in this Esterhazyo Palace and its interior bears absolutely no resemblance to the unfortunate exterior. It's a welll-presented gallery with permanent collections of Slovakian and European art and a varied programme of events and current exhibitions. At the moment these include 'Flying Dutchmen" and a retrospective of the work of Ales Votava, a well-known Slovakian stage designer and artist, now unfortunately deceased. What impressed me most about the Slovak National Gallery is that they charge no admission fee to students of art, culture, history of art etc. Maybe other European galleries could learn from this. Admission is SKK 80 for adults and SKK 40 for students and anybody else who can claim a concession.Opening hours are from 10.00am - 6.00 pm daily, except Mondays. Address: Namestie L'.

by micas_pt This beautiful bright yellow building houses the Municipal Gallery, where you may enjoy some temporary exhibitions as well as sculpture and painting from 18th and 19th centuries. The building is Rococo style and is very well kept. It is just a few steps away from Town Hall, opposite beautiful churches: Franciscan church and St John Chapel, both attached. The Gallery is opened every day from 10am to 5pm (except Mondays). Leave a Comment

It is the oldest Slovak professional theatre. It has 3 sections, viz., drama, opera and ballet. It was founded in 1920 right after the creation of Czechoslovakia and was taken over by the state in 1945. Initially there was a fourth section, viz., the music section. The Slovak National Theatre is an impressive building, just in the old town and it is not possible to miss it if you are in the old town. The place is heavily crowded with tourist, every hour of the day.
