Classical music and drama

Most of the theatres and concert halls are closed through the summer. Information should be available through your hotel reception desk, or check the listings magazines. Bucharest's cultural forte is classical music , and several internationally acclaimed musicians have cut their teeth with the George Enescu Philharmonic Orchestra, which plays in the Romanian Athenaeum at Str.

The city’s most high-profile cultural event is the  Georges Enescu International Festival (September-October 2005), when classical orchestras and chamber music groups from around the world play in the city’s best concert halls .
A festival of piano music, named after the pianist Dinu Lipatti, has become established in early May. The finest operatic performances are staged at the Opera Româna, B-dul Kogalniceanu 70 (tel 01/314 6980), with other productions taking place at the Teatrul Opereta next to the National Theatre at B-dul Balcescu 2 (tel 01/313 6348). Performances are lavish with fantastic sets and huge casts; tickets cost about $1-2 from the venues' box offices. The Sala Radio, at Str. Berthelot 62 (tel 01/314 6800), plays host to some high-quality concerts. Outdoor concerts are held in Cismigiu Gardens and Tineretului Park during the summer.

Concert halls :

Atheneul Roman : Str. Franklin 1

One of the most magnificent places to hear classical music performed is at the Ateneul Roman, Strada Franklin 1 (tel: (01) 315 6875). This splendid 19th-century building – looking like Bucharest’s answer to London’s St Paul’s Cathedral – presents a fairytale backdrop, splendid acoustics and plays host to the George Enescu Philharmonic Orchestra and other top performances. The lobby has a beautifully painted ceiling decorated in gold leaf and curved balconies cascading in ringlets of spiral staircase. A ring of pink marble columns is linked by flowing arches, where elaborate brass lanterns hang like gems from a necklace. Inside the concert hall, voluptuous frescoes cover the ceiling and walls. This remarkable décor usually can only be viewed by concert-goers.
