- Abstract
The paper discusses some issues which pertain to the relationship between theatre and urban culture. The survey is part of a larger research, which aims to trace the role of the theatre for building urban culture and memory in the process of asserting the national identity at the end of the 19th and the beginning of the 20th century in the context of the modernization and Europeanization of the Bulgarian society after the Liberation until the Second World War. Problems about the significance of the established National theatres in Central and Eastern Europe during the investigated period are outlined. In focus is the professionalization and institutionalization of the Bulgarian theatre activities with the foundation of the National Theatre. Important questions about the repertoire, the professional acting staff, the native and the foreign are put into reconsideration.
