National Operetta and Musical Theatre "Ion Dacian"

The Ion Dacian National Operetta and Musical Theatre in Bucharest is a national cultural institution reestablished in November 2016 by the Romanian government. It is funded by the Ministry of Culture. Located in the heart of the capital on the banks of the Dâmbovița, next to Octavian Goga Boulevard,

the theatre inherits a long history and a heritage of performances created and staged over past centuries. Since 2015, it has been housed in a brand-new building specifically designed for musical performances. It is named after tenor Ion Dacian (1911–1981). The theatre embraces a variety of musical genres for Romanian audiences, with a recent emphasis on musical comedies followed by operettas. Following common practice in the world of operetta, performances are always presented in the national language, Romanian, although some songs are occasionally performed in their original language.
