The Terazije Theatre (Pozorište na Terazijama) in Belgrade is Serbia’s premier venue dedicated exclusively to musical theatre. Opened in 1949 and located in the heart of the city on Terazije Square, it was designed by architect Georgije Samoylov and modeled after Broadway-style theatres. Over the decades, it has staged Serbian-language productions of global hits such as Chicago, Kiss Me, Kate, and Mamma Mia!, earning a reputation for high-quality performances and vibrant staging. After a long closure due to disrepair, the theatre underwent a major reconstruction from 2003 to 2005, transforming it into one of the most modern and technically advanced performance spaces in the region. Its reopening marked a cultural revival, drawing enthusiastic audiences and reestablishing the theatre as a cornerstone of Belgrade’s performing arts scene. With its blend of tradition and innovation, the Terazije Theatre continues to enchant visitors and locals alike with its dynamic repertoire and artistic excellence.
