Helikon Opera, Opera house in central Moscow, Russia
The Helikon Opera resides in the former Shakhovskoi-Glebov-Streshneva palace, featuring neoclassical architecture with a 250-seat performance hall in the converted ballroom.
The building opened its doors in 1885 as a noble residence, while the opera company established operations in 1990 under the direction of Dmitry Bertman.
The theater performs both traditional repertoire and lesser-known works, including the first Moscow revival of Tchaikovsky's Undine in 1994 and Prokofiev's The Ugly Duckling.
The company presents over 200 performances annually, with tickets available at the box office and through their online reservation system.
The opera company maintains a staff of 500 members, including an orchestra and chorus that perform at various Moscow venues beyond their main theater.
