despite the many voices at the time, who would have preferred a theatre signed by Romanian architects, Fellner & Helmer were selected for the new project, based on their already impressive portfolio
before modernising the stage system, there were spots from where actors could have whispered and naturally push the sound to the farthest seats in the theatre. so refined was the acoustic system designed by Fellner & Helmer
numerous ornamental details transcend the limits of the unique project and become representative leitmotifs for the Fellner & Helmer signature
