Yerevan Opera Theater, Opera house in Kentron District, Yerevan, Armenia.
The white stone building features two concert halls beneath a massive dome, with grand arches and classical Armenian architectural elements throughout the structure.
Alexander Tamanian designed this monumental structure in 1933, and the theater premiered with Spendiarian's opera Almast on January 20 of that year.
The National Academic Theater presents traditional Armenian operas alongside international works, maintaining a repertoire of classical performances and ballet productions.
The theater contains 2600 seats across multiple levels, offering performances throughout the year with tickets available at the central box office.
The theater earned a gold medal at the 1937 World Exhibition in Paris for its architectural design that combines Armenian and classical elements.
