Kyiv Opera House, Opera house in Kyiv, Ukraine
The National Opera and Ballet Theatre features Renaissance Revival architecture with marble front steps, dramatic arches, and gilded interior decorations throughout the building.
The original City Theatre burned down in 1896, leading to an international competition that selected Victor Schröter's design for the new opera house in 1901.
The theater gained prominence in 1917 when it served as the location for declaring Ukrainian autonomy during a performance attended by government officials.
The opera house contains 1,683 seats and presents regular performances of classical operas, ballets, and concerts, with tickets available through their official website.
The structure incorporates reeds within its walls, creating natural acoustic properties that enhance sound quality during musical performances.
