Painting of the Tekyeh Dowlat (State Theater) - Kamal-ol-molk, 1892.

The Tekyeh Dowlat was a royal theater or opera house in Tehran, Iran, which became the most famous space in Iran for the performance of ta’zieh (a kind of passion play about the martyrdoms of Hassan and Hussein) during the Mourning of Muharram. It seated 4,000 people and rivalled the greatest opera houses of western Europe according to European visitors.

The Tekyeh Dowlat was built by Naser al-Din Shah Qajar in 1868 atop the site of the Síyáh-Chál (Black Pit), an infamous prison that housed enemies of the state such as Mírzá Ḥusayn-`Alí Núrí (Bahá'u'lláh). It was at the Tekyeh Dowlat that Reza Shah Pahlavi proclaimed the downfall of the Qajar dynasty in 1925. The theater was demolished in 1947 and a bank was built on the site.
