1822 Cluj Napoca

1822 Cluj Napoca (today Romania, then Hungary)

in the 1820s and the first half of the 1830s, Kolozsvár was the most important centre for Hungarian theatre and opera,[179] a new theatre was built in 1820, while at the beginning of the 20th century, still a Hungarian city, it became the chief alternative to the cinematography of Budapest.[180] After its incorporation into the Kingdom of Romania at the end of World War I, the renamed Cluj saw a resurgence of its Romanian culture, most conspicuous in the completion of the monumental Orthodox cathedral in 1933 across from the (newly nationalised) Romanian National Theatre.
