The history
The Estonia Theatre is an opera
house and concert hall in Tallinn,
Estonia. The Jugendstil building was
designed by Finnish architects Armas
Lindgren and Wivi Lönn. It was built as
a national effort with the leadership of
Estonia society in 1913 and was opened
to the public on 24 August. At the time,
it was the largest building in Tallinn.
The opera house was heavily
damaged in the Soviet air raid on
Tallinn on 9 March 1944. It was
reconstructed in a classical and
Stalinist style, and reopened in 1947.
Thebuilding has two large
auditoriums in two separate wings. It
now houses the Estonian National
Opera and the Estonian National
Symphony Orchestra. A chamber hall
was opened in 2006.
