Moranbong Theatre, Theatre building in Moranbong, Pyongyang, North Korea

The Moranbong Theatre stands at the southern foot of Moran Hill near the Chollima Statue, featuring a Soviet-influenced neoclassical architectural design.

Built in 1946 as the first theatre in post-liberation Pyongyang, the structure survived severe damage during the Korean War with only two exterior walls remaining intact.

The North Korean National Symphonic Orchestra performs regular concerts in this venue, which presents various theatrical productions and governmental ceremonies throughout the year.

International visitors can attend performances at the theatre through organized group tours, with concert tickets available for purchase at twenty euros per person.

Before the construction of the theatre, the location contained a Shinto shrine, marking a transformation from religious structure to performing arts center.
