Volgograd Musical Theater, Regional cultural heritage theater in Tsentralny District, Volgograd, Russia

Volgograd Musical Theater is a regional cultural venue in the city center presenting operas, ballets, and musical productions. The classical building structure accommodates various performance formats and cultural events.

The first performance of the Stalingrad Musical Comedy Theater took place in November 1932 in the old Concordia theater building, opening with Strelnikov's operetta "Khlopka"; 13 productions followed in the first season. During World War II the troupe was evacuated to Kazan and Omsk, and after the victory it returned in full, playing at the tractor factory club. In 1952 the rebuilt former Public Assembly building of Tsaritsyn on the Central Embankment became the theater's home, and in 1995 it gained the status of Musical Theater.

The theatre's name changed with the city: it opened in 1932 as the Stalingrad Musical Comedy Theatre and took its present title in 1995. Since 2000 it has held an annual interregional Christmas festival for young musicians. Its 1997 staging of Verdi's Rigoletto won a theatre prize for the 1997–1998 season.

The theater stands on the Central Embankment, in the former Public Assembly building of Tsaritsyn, rebuilt as a theater in 1952. The entrance faces the Volga, a short walk from the riverboat station and the central stairs. The building was closed for five years of repairs in the 1990s before reopening.

The building on the Central Embankment is a rebuilt former Public Assembly House of Tsaritsyn, where balls and weddings were once held. The theatre took it over in 1952, and after a five-year closure for repairs it reopened with Verdi's La Traviata. Since 2000 it has hosted an annual interregional Christmas festival for young musicians.
