Kaunas State Musical Theatre is musical theatre in Kaunas, Lithuania. It was established on November 27, 1940 in former State Theatre hall adjoining the Laisvės Alėja. For some time it was playing mostly operettas. ==The building== Decision to build Kaunas City Theatre was admitted in 1891, and first play was staged on January 9, 1892. Neo-Renaissance was chosen as a style for the building, and it was built in the City Garden square. Two storey building had 500 square meters hall. Spectators also could watch plays from two storey balconie rows. In the balconies special loges were established for Kaunas Governor and Kaunas Fortress commandant. After Lithuania established independence and Kaunas became the temporary capital, the theatre became a cradle for modern Lithuanian drama, opera and ballet theatres. Theatre was reconstructed in 1922-1925, 1930-1933 and in 1980. Exterior of the building assumed Neo-Baroque architecture, the audience hall was enlarged to 763 places, and the third row of balconies and the central lodge were added.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Kaunas theatre building history )〕 Romas Kalanta set himself on fire in 1972 as a protest against the Soviet regime in the nearby square. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Kaunas State Musical Theatre」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
