Since Ukraine has gained its independence, the number of publications about Lviv and its architecture increased. However, most of them provided only some fragmentary data because this information was interpreted into Ukrainian from Austrian and Polish old newspapers. Insufficient understanding of the general phenomenon and the context in which the historical event took place sometimes resulted in writers drawing erroneous conclusions. Furthermore, the publications on architectural objects written by researchers who were not experts in this area lack in objectivity. Therefore, there are “new” publications replete with unfounded interpretations of the architecture of our city, which are devoid of both analysis and comparison to architectural phenomena in Europe and around the world. It should be highlighted that the architecture of Lviv, as well as its theatre buildings, has many interesting and unique features, both in terms of the historical events facts and the genesis of the concept of “Lviv architectural tradition”. It is worth noting that representatives of different nationalities - Ukrainians, Poles, Austrians, Jews, Italians, Germans, Czechs, Hungarians, Russians and Armenians, who presented both Lviv and their national architectural schools, built the city environment. A constellation of Jewish architects - A. Stahl, S. Riemer, A. Schleyen and many others also worked in the theatrical field. There were many spectacular buildings: theatres, halls in social spaces, clubs, and educational institutions. Undoubtedly, the contribution of Jewish architects to the overall development of the city was extremely significant not only in historical times, but also in modern times – the 20th century and should be included in the topical issues, which need further scientific investigation.
