Timisoara is a multicultural city influenced by different ethnic communities especially by German, Hungarian, Serbian and other communities like Bulgarian, Italian and Greek.
The cultural heritage and the cultural diversity are the strengths of the city.
With more than 12 professional cultural institutions after Bucharest and Iasi, Timisoara is the third cultural pole of the country, regarding the measure and the variety of cultural options.
One big tradition is Timisoara Theatres with the three State Theatres under the same roof:
Romanian National Theatre, German Theatre and Hungarian Theatre, which offers shows in the following languages: Romanian, German and Hungarian.
From 1953 until forever Timisoara is the only European city with three state theatres Romanian, German and Hungarian. As I told you before these institutions share the same symbol- building, I am talking about Romanian Opera.
