After 1792, a new theatre space in Jihlava was the chapel of St. Elisabeth (Komenského St.29) that was converted for this use standing against the present theatre. This confined space hosted even operas, for instance the Mozart’s Magic Flute in 1825. However, the confined area of the originally religious space together with security issues were a motive that theatre productions were moved in 1825 into a hall in the second floor of the U tří knížatinn (presently the Masaryk Square) with a capacity of circa 300 spectators.
