Our warmest congratulations for the award!

The artistic awards for the 2023/2024 season were presented at the calendar year's final company meeting on December 27 at the Hungarian Theatre of Cluj.

Based on the votes of the theatre's Artistic Council, the following persons received the Artistic Award for their outstanding performances in the 2023/24 season:

Eszter Román (for her performance in The Nightingale), Zsolt Gedő (for his performance in The Nightingale) and Andrea Kali (for her performance in The Misunderstanding).

On December 17, 1792, the predecessor of the Hungarian Theatre of Cluj, the National Dramatic Society, began its activities with the performance of The Secret Opposition or Köleséri in the Rhédey Palace. This was the beginning of a continuous Hungarian theatrical life in Cluj. Since then, our institution has been a key pillar of Transylvanian Hungarian culture, enriching the lives of its audiences for more than two centuries and becoming a recognised figure on the national and international theatre scene.

For those who are interested in theatre history, we recommend the National Museum and Institute of Theatre History of Budapest exhibition of Noble Traces. The Theatre on Kogalniceanu street in Cluj. The exhibition was opened on the occasion of this year's Interferences Festival and is still on display in the theatre's upstairs lobby before performances.

Happy birthday!
