Visit the Greek National Theatre’s digitised archive here.

The National Theatre of Greece Digital Archive includes rare and valuable material spanning 1932 to 2024 from the collections of the NTG, such as theatre programmes, newspaper and magazine clippings, audio and video recordings (from 1955 and 1994 respectively), musical scores, and posters, as well as photographs documenting both individual productions and the NTG’s broader activities. 

As part of the project to create, promote and utilise a digital archive for the National Theatre of Greece, the stages and other areas of the Ziller Building have been captured in 3D for the first time, enabling visitors to the website to navigate the space and learn more about its history and features through a dedicated interface. In addition, a total of 403 costumes from the NTG’s valuable wardrobe collection, created for the country’s foremost theatrical institution by leading designers of the 20th century, have been preserved and displayed on our virtual platform. Some of the NTG’s most beautiful stage outfits can also be viewed and explored in our online museum.

This major initiative has been implemented under the Operational Programme for Competitiveness, Entrepreneurship and Innovation (NSRF 2014-2020), co-financed by the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) of the European Union.
