East Pyongyang Grand Theatre, Theatre building in Pyongyang, North Korea.

The East Pyongyang Grand Theatre features traditional Korean architectural elements with curved roofs covered in green tiles across three distinct floors.

The theatre opened its doors in 1989 and became internationally notable in 2008 when it hosted the New York Philharmonic's first performance in North Korea.

The venue regularly presents revolutionary operas including 'Sea of Blood' and 'A Flower Girl', which tell stories of Korean resistance and social struggles.

Located at the intersection of Yonggwang Street and Sungri Street, the theatre contains 2,500 seats and spans more than 62,000 square meters.

A large mural depicting Ulrim Falls decorates the theatre's lobby, while the exterior walls display scenes from five different revolutionary operas.
