Jan Kochanowski Theatre in Opole is a drama theatre whose history dates back to the post-war years. Since 1975, the theatre has been operating in its current location with one of the largest stages in Europe, the largest dramatic stage in Poland, and the third largest in the country after the Warsaw and Łódź opera houses. In the 1970s it was called a super theatre because of its size, momentum and budget, which was the highest in Poland at the time. Completed after more than nine years of construction, the theatre was the most modern theatre building in Poland at the time of its opening. Since that year, it has also borne the name of its current patron and hosts the Opole Theatre Confrontations, a festival devoted to stagings of Polish classical literature.

Opole is not a large city and all locations of potential interest to you are within walking distance. The theatre is nearly in the very centre of the city and is therefore close to the oldest part of the city, where you can see elements of the traditional architecture of Opole Silesia.
However, if the need for public transport arises, different parts of Opole are connected by several bus lines.

When searching for connections, you can use the
OnTime mobile app, available both on Android
and in the AppStore on iOS.

Prices are quoted in PLN (Polish Zloty) and converted in EUR (Euro). The centres are listed consecutively to the normal and reduced prices. The full price list, in English, is available here.
