Estonia Theatre

The Estonia Theatre is an opera house and concert hall in Tallinn, Estonia.The Jugendstil building was designed by Finnish architects Armas Lindgren ja Wivi Lönn. It built as a national effort with the leadership of "Estonia" society in 1913 and was opened to the public on August 24th. At the time, it was the largest building in Tallinn.

The opera house was heavily damaged in the Soviet air raid on Tallinn on March 9, 1944. It was reconstructed in a classical and Stalinist style, and reopened in 1947.

The building has two large auditoriums in two separate wings. It now houses the Estonian National Opera and the Estonian National Symphony Orchestra. A chamber hall was opened in 2006.
