Bratislava, Slovakia: Slovak National Theater

The Slovak National Theater has a new building. It was started in 1986 after a few years of planning. The projects proved difficult to fund, and after fits and starts it was finally finished in 2007.

But the old place still looks good and is still in use. It was built in 1886, and the opera and ballet companies perform there.

The guy in the fountain in front is Ganymede, the good-looking Greek God who was selected to pour wine to Zeus.
