KIEV OPERA BALLET:

If you want to enjoy a real good cultural evening in Kiev, the best thing to do is to go to the Opera theatre (Address of theatre: Vladimirska street, 50), Metro zoloty zolota or teatralna                             

Everyday (except Mondays) you will be albe to see Opera in Kiev or Ballet in Kiev, from diferent composer, ukainian, russians, italians, french and more.

The program is very interesting, and evey month, new spectacles and old one, every day a diferent one.

Shows begin at 19H , and last from 2 to 3 hours depending if 2 or 3 acts.. with pause every hours;).....Tikets cost from 10 gryvna to 150 gryvna and more, depending on where you are, floor and situation. But honeslty, for 30 gryvna, you can have a good spot at the second or third floor wiht a good view on the show...So up to you, if you want ot be with the students, or with the older people downstairs;)...

I advice you to buy in advance always, but it is also possible to buy just before the show, in case it is not a premiere or a new show. Enjoy!

More info about the Opera of Kiev: The Opera seen by it's General Director:

"This theatre is one of the most beautiful Neo-Renaissance constructions in Kyiv. It belongs to the architectural suite bounded sounds of many epochs and centuries - from the golden-domed temples of times Kyiv Rus up to the refined rhythm of modern buildings of the beginning of the 20th century. Within its precincts, one can hear music by M.Lysenko and S.Hulak-Artemovsky, P.Tchaikovsky and N.Rimsky-Korsakov, A.Borodin and B.Lyatoshynsky, M.Musorgsky and S.Prokofiev... In the National opera of Ukraine, G.Verdi is widely presented; here the meeting with compositions by G.Rossini, G.Donizetti, Ch.Gounod, D.Cimarosa, A.Khachaturyan, M.Skorulsky, G.Puccini, M.Ravel, G.Bizet, L.Minkus, and others expects you. Now our playbill totals more than fifty performances of different composers, epochs and styles..."

"A common feature that unites them is the artistic perfection of the best grade. Almost every evening the curtain of our theatre rises to transfer the spectators to the surprising world created on the stage by talents of the artists - composer and conductor, director and artist, and performers... Whatever performance you see in our theatre, you will feel from the stage a power of talents, inspiration, skill and fidelity to the art.
The history of our collective began in November 1867, though it is necessary to add to it two previous Italian seasons. They had engrafted to Kyivers the taste to opera art, and made more active the public's struggle for opera theatre creation in the significant economic center of the Empire, university city, which then Kyiv was.
The national opera of Ukraine named after Taras Shevchenko has gone through many stages of its bright creative biography: from an opera city theatre up to the first stage of the state. It has received recognition not only in Kiev and Ukraine, but also in the world. Our opera and ballet representations delighted the spectators of France and Canada, Italy and Germany, Switzerland and Belgium, Denmark and Egypt, Lebanon and Hungary, Japan and Brazil, the USA and Portugal, India and Spain... More powerfully and more actively we have been integrating in the European cultural process, demonstrating the high level of the Ukrainian opera-ballet mastery, non-ordinary gifts of our artists, bright traditions, on which the greatest achievements of mankind in the field of musical culture and humanistic ideals determining in civilized process of our not easy historical time are based."

"The National Opera of Ukraine is a glory of Ukrainian musical culture, known all over the world the Opera-Ballet Theatre... It is a Temple, where a palpitating solemn ceremony takes place by the true and genuine art, merging hearts and souls of actors on the stage with these of spectators sitting in the auditorium; where great magic of music and dance brings all of us into the world of lofty matters, giving unmatched pleasure of harmony and spiritual enrichment."
