Opera and Ballet theatre

Art in your life

The Kharkiv State Academic Opera and Ballet Theatre named after M.Lysenko is the first academic theatre in Ukraine. It presents operas in Ukrainian, Russian, French and Italian. This one of the leading Ukrainian theatres was opened in 1925 by putting on the stage opera "Sorochynska yarmarka" ("Sorochyntsy Fair") of Russian composer Modest Mussorgsky.
From 1991 the theatre works in the new building which is built in postmodern style and is located at Sumskaya Str. 25/27. The Theatre has two halls: big hall can seat 1500 people and small one 400 people. The sculpture "Music of L.Lysenko" decorates the entrance of the theatre. The building is tiled with artic tufa, and under the theatre there is a parking.
In 2007 in front of the theatre were constructed beautiful fountains which quickly became very popular.

The repertoire includes around 50 operas and ballets, the majority of which are Ukrainian and Russian but there are also Italian ones.

   Hey! I am afraid, you will have to go there personally and prepay for the table. If you are not a big company and it is a a normal day (without special guests), do not bother with reservation, just come earlier - there surely will be some tables to take.
