The Imperatrix Flavia Augustina Theater is a Nikolian theater in the city of Carigrad, which routinely performs Hesperidesian plays and operas throughout the year.
History
The Imperatrix Flavia Augustina Theater was a flagship development during the Pons Culturalis, during which young people from both Nikolia and the Empire of Exponent took interest in the others culture. With the intentions of providing the people of Nikolia with a better understanding of Hesperidesian culture and drama, the Emperor Gaius Manius gave the order to construct the theater in Carigrad in 1879, mirroring the smaller Marinko Bojanić Hesperidesian Theater in Beograd. The building was designed by the engineer Paulus Vagionius Ulixes and decorated by the Nikolian artist Stefan Đorđević, who created the many murals depicting famous scenes from the history of Exponent, most notably the mosaic in the auditorium depciting the Imperial victory at the Battle of St. Andrews Point during the War of the Magpie and the Dragon. The construction was completed in October, 1889, and the building was named after Gaius Manius' wife, the Imperatrix Flavia Augustina.
The grand opening of the opera house occurred on March 23rd, 1890, with Marcellus Brabentius's The Prometheans.
Management and operations
The theater receives partial funding from the Blackhelm Confederate Ministry of Culture, and puts on performances every weekend of the year with the exception of Holy Week. The theater is also home to the Hesperidesian Theater Troupe of Carigrad, and houses several reharsal studios for other groups on the premises as well. Additionally, the theater also regularly hosts performances from other local theater and dance troupe throughout the year, which help to raise funds for the building's upkeep.
