Its story
The building was commissioned by the member of parliament Süreyya İlmen Paşa, inspired by the theaters of Paris, and opened in 1927. Designed by the Armenian architect Kegam Kavafyan, the building was used as a cinema for many years. With its 2007 restoration it regained its original function and became one of the stages of the State Opera and Ballet. The ceiling paintings in its foyer and its facade are an important part of Kadıköy's cultural heritage.
