Sampo Pitkänen Opera House

The Marinko Bojanić Hesperidesian Theater is a Nikolian opera house in the city of Beograd, which routinely performs Hesperidesian plays and operas throughout the year.

History

The Marinko Bojanić Hesperidesian Theater was one of the earliest structures built as part of 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 Maniusgave the order to construct the theater in Beograd in 1879. The building was designed by the engineer Publius Pomponius Verulus and decorated by the Nikolian artist Bogdan Nastasić, who created the many murals depicting famous scenes from the history of Exponent, most notably the mosaic in the auditorium depciting the Imperial triumph during the Polarussian Crusade. The construction was completed in May, 1888, and the building was named after Nikolian playwright Marinko Bojanić.

The grand opening of the opera house occurred on June 3rd, 1881, with Marcellus Brabentius's The Prometheans.
