Estonia’s oldest theatre, Vanemuine, is in many ways<br />

connected to the number three. First of all, Vanemuine<br />

uses three buildings. The Big House with its 700-seat<br />

hall is on top of the hill in the city centre. A bit off centre,<br />

in the quiet air of the park, is an architecturally outst<strong>and</strong>ing<br />

Small House with its more than 400-seat hall.<br />

On the bank of the River Emajõgi is the black-box type<br />

Harbour Theatre with 300 seats. In addition to three<br />

buildings, Vanemuine also has three branches: the<br />

literary, musical <strong>and</strong> dance theatre. The repertoire includes<br />

dramas, comedies, tragedies, operas, operettas,<br />

musicals, classical ballet plays <strong>and</strong> modern dance plays.<br />

The long history of Estonia’s only three-genre theatre<br />

dates back to 1870. However, Vanemuine as Estonia’s<br />

oldest professional theatre dates back to 1906.<br />
