Eugène Ionesco National Theatre
Theatre in Râșcani, Chișinău
The Eugène Ionesco National Theatre was founded soon after Moldova declared independence, in September 1991, by a group of young actors who had graduated from the Shchukin Theatre School in Moscow, led by Petru Vutcărău. Eugène Ionesco personally agreed to let the theatre bear his name. Vutcărău was its first stage director and artistic director, and he still heads the theatre today.
The theatre is at 11 Grigore Vieru Boulevard in Râșcani. Its repertoire mixes classics and contemporary drama — King Lear, The Seagull, The Government Inspector, A Midsummer Night’s Dream, Cat on a Hot Tin Roof, Oscar and the Lady in Pink, The Last Night in Madrid — along with children’s shows such as Peter Pan and A Christmas Tale. It also hosts the Eugène Ionesco International Theatre Biennial (BITEI).
Tickets are sold online on the theatre’s website, which also offers culture vouchers, the monthly programme and box-office contacts. There are no Google reviews for this listing yet.
