Abstract

This monograph is based on the author’s dissertation defended at the Faculty of Architecture of the University of Zagreb in 2008. It is a synthesis of her three-decade long research into the architecture of theatre buildings, movies and various stages in Rijeka. The research covers 68 buildings and spaces of this architectural type ranging from the first Jesuit school theatre from 1629 to the Cultural Centre built in Sušak in 1947. Besides the buildings obviously planned and designed as theatres, the analysis also encompasses various outdoor stages such as summer open theatres at the squares, in the park, public baths etc. Out of the total number of analyzed buildings, six have been selected for an in-depth analysis since they are considered truly representative for a particular period. These are: the Baroque theatres Teatro Bono-Gerliczi (1764-1766) and Teatro Nobile (1783), the Classicist Adamić’s theatre (1798-1805), the Historicist Teatro Comunale (Fellner&Helmer, 18831885; today the Croatian National Theatre), the Secession masterpiece Teatro Fenice (T. Träxler, 1911-1914), and the Modernist complex of the Croatian Cultural Centre in Sušak (J. Pičman - A. Albini, 1934-1947).
