theatre square

The most beautiful building of this square and Chernivtsi is the Chernivtsi theater named after Olga Kobylyanska. The Chernivtsi Theater is a dream of velvet and gold, designed by Viennese architects Helmer and Felmera. And yet they were invited to work in Chernivtsi only after the theaters in Vienna and Odessa were built according to their projects. The famous Olga Kobylyanskaya sang in the theater. To the right of the theater is the building of the former Jewish People's House, built in 1908 in the pseudo-Baroque style by the Lviv architect Tadeusz Lewandowski.→
