Helena Modrzejewska Theatre

The Helena Modrzejewska Theatre in Legnica, Poland - a state drama theater, operating in the building of the former opera-theater from the mid-19th century.

The next performance was matched by such interest that soldiers from the local garrison were assigned to keep order, however, this did not prevent riots and breaking windows.

For almost the entire first century of its activity in the new building, the theater did not have a permanent ensemble and functioned on the basis of guest service (impresariat).

Immediately after World War II, the building was ransacked by Red Army soldiers, taking everything that was not permanently fixed to the ground.
