'''SvenskTeater''' is a [[zone|turfzone]] in the [[municipality]] of [[Municipality:Helsinki|Helsinki]] in the [[region]] of [[Region: Etelä-Suomi|Etelä-Suomi]] (Southern Finland) in [[Country: Finland|Finland]]. The zone is located in the [[province]] of [[Uusimaa]].
== Placement ==
This zone is placed by the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erottaja Erottaja] square outside of the [https://www.svenskateatern.fi/en/start/ Swedish Theatre] in the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kaartinkaupunki Kaartinkaupunki] district in central [[Municipality:Helsinki|Helsinki]].
==Swedish Theatre==
The first theatre in Helsinki, [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Engels_Teater Engels Teater], was completed in 1827. The wooden building designed by architect Carl Ludvig Engel was located in the corner of Mikaelsgatan and Esplanaden. At the time the theatre was opened it had no permanent actors and many of the actors who performed in the theatre during that time were en route to [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saint_Petersburg Saint Petersburg].
The theatre designed by Engel soon became too small as the interest in theatre grew rapidly among the citizens of Helsinki. The new theatre building was opened on 28 November 1860. The new building, which was designed by Georg [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Georg_Theodor_Chiewitz Theodor von Chiewitz], was built on Skillnaden, on the same site as the current Svenska Teatern.
Only three years after the new theatre building was completed it was destroyed in a fire in 1863. The building was soon rebuilt, in the Neoclassical style, and the theatre re-opened its doors in 1866. This time the architect was [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nicholas_Benois Nicholas Benois] from [[Country:Russia|Russia]]. The theatre carried the name Nya Teatern (New Theatre) until the year 1887, when a Finnish theatre was opened in [[Helsinki]]. Since 1887 the name of the theatre has been Svenska Teatern.
The building of Svenska Teatern was renovated in 1935 by architects [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eero_Saarinen Eero Saarinen] and Jarl Eklund. The richly decorated facade of the building was replaced with a new facade representing functionalism.
In the beginning of the 20th century, the directors of the theatre were mainly Swedish and many of the actors came from Sweden. In 1915, it was decided that theatre was to become a national stage for the Finland-Swedish theatre. Already in 1908, a new theatre school was founded by the theatre.
Many pieces of incidental music by [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jean_Sibelius Jean Sibelius] had their premiere in the theatre, including the initial version of [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Finlandia Finlandia] in November 1899.
