National Opera and Ballet Theatre of Moldova, Opera house and theatre on Stefan cel Mare Boulevard, Chișinău, Moldova.
The National Opera and Ballet Theatre is a performance venue with modern facilities located in central Chișinău. The building was constructed during the Soviet era and houses spaces for opera productions and ballet performances.
The theatre opened in 1957 following the arrival of dancers trained in Leningrad. This marked the beginning of professional ballet activity in Moldova's capital.
The theatre serves as a center for classical performances with its own orchestra, choir, and ballet company that perform regularly for the city's audiences. Local artists take the stage in well-known works that draw people from across the region.
The building sits on Stefan cel Mare Boulevard in the heart of the city and is easy to reach on foot. Visitors should book tickets in advance as popular performances sell out quickly.
The theatre was renamed in 2012 to honor Maria Bieșu, a Moldovan singer who performed at Milan's La Scala. She gained international recognition during her career as an artist.
