The building of the National Theater from 1869, without colour - Entry for the #monomad challenge

Although I went on a tour of the National Theater in Belgrade just two months ago, I took advantage of the invitation to attend the same tour again, and this time I fit into the era of this theater with photos.
I photographed in black and white, without color, and the photos I took on that occasion are now shared with you in #monomad

You can watch the full color version from February if you want at https://peakd.com/hive-168869/@duskobgd/in-the-heart-of-the

The theater building was built in 1869 and is celebrating 155 years of existence.
Although James Clerk Maxwell took the first color photograph way back in 1861, before the theater building was built, I believe photographs of the theater back then would have been just like this, in black and white.

In addition to the interesting exterior architecture of the building, I also photographed the stage, the lodges, the picture on the ceiling and as a specialty, since we were allowed to go up on the stage, I also photographed the audience seats.

The corridors to the lodges have always seemed mysterious to me, and without color that impression is intensified.

As the most beautiful photo of this #monomad contest, I would show a picture of the ceiling of the gallery on the first floor, with beautiful lamps, ornaments and decorations.

This is my entry for the #monomad challenge.


Thank you for stopping by my post and I hope you enjoyed the photos and the story I shared with you


All photos are my property, taken with a mobile phone

Such architecture makes me realise how backwards we are going. I noticed it here with the Soviet side of it. How our modernism has lost all soul.

Pre-war Belgrade was built with buildings of similar architecture, and in the 1941 bombing, more than half of the buildings were destroyed.
They were replaced by socialist architecture in the years after World War II...
So in the same street there is a building similar to this theater, and next to it a building made in blocks (like Lego).
