The Croatian National Theatre in Varaždin (Croatian: Hrvatsko narodno kazalište u Varaždinu), commonly referred to as HNK Varaždin, is a theatre located in Varaždin.
History
The history of theater in Varaždin dates back to 1637, with the Jesuit school performances held at the local grammar school. These productions, often in Latin and German language. Between 1788 and 1873, 30 theatrical performances were organized in Varaždin, taking place in both private and public spaces.
The theatre building, designed by Viennese architect Hermann Helmer, was completed in 1873. The theater in Varaždin was the third theatre building in Civil Croatia. The first professional Croatian theater ensemble was formed in 1898 under the management of the Croatian Drama Society, led by historian Ivan Mičetić. The Permanent City Theater as an institution was officially established in 1915, featuring both a drama and an opera ensemble. This institution was active until 1925. Between 1907 and 1942 Varaždin served as the secondary base for the Croatian National Theatre in Osijek. After World War II in Yugoslavia, the professional National Theater "August Cesarec" was established, with support from the Slavonian regional authorities.
