Odesa Opera and Ballet Theater, Opera house in Prymorskyi district, Odesa, Ukraine.
The neo-baroque theater features a horseshoe-shaped auditorium with detailed ornamentation, golden decorations, and ceiling paintings that reflect classical European design principles.
Built in 1887 after a fire destroyed the original 1810 structure, the theater became the first building in Odesa to receive electric lighting from the Edison Company.
The theater maintains an extensive program of opera and ballet performances, presenting works by composers such as Verdi, Puccini, and Tchaikovsky throughout the year.
The theater accommodates 1,636 spectators and provides guided tours in multiple languages, allowing visitors to explore its architectural features and performance spaces.
The building stands on specially engineered foundations that required geological interventions to maintain stability due to the shifting ground beneath the structure.
