The eastern side of Hviezdoslav Square is bordered by the opera house of the Slovak National Theatre, built in 1885/86. The elaborately designed façade in the neo-renaissance style is crowned by a group of sculptures symbolising Thalia, the muse of the theatre. On the square in front of it is the Ganymede fountain. Ganymede was famously carried to Olympus by an eagle at the behest of Zeus, where he was to serve the gods. He does not seem unhappy about it.
