WRITTEN ON THE WALLS: THE HUNGARIAN-ROMANIAN TRANSFER OF THE NATIONAL THEATRE BUILDING FROM KOLOZSVÁR/CLUJ

Summary/Abstract: The 1918 Great Union of Transylvania with the Kingdom of Romania had direct consequences on the theatrical landscape of the province. The present paper reconstructs the controversial transfer of the building that at the time hosted the Hungarian National Theatre from Kolozsvár/Cluj (currently Cluj-Napoca ) to the newly formed Romanian state, as recounted by its manager, Hungarian theatre and film director Jenő Janovics, and by Ștefan Mărcuș, Romanian opera singer and arts historian.
