Kharkiv Ukrainian Drama Theatre, théâtre située à Kharkiv, Ukraine
The Kharkiv Ukrainian Drama Theatre is a theater in Kharkiv that hosts performances on two stages. The main hall seats approximately 900 people, while the smaller Berezil stage accommodates about 115 people.
The theater was founded in 1935, replacing the closed Berezil Theatre that had been led by influential director Les Kurbas. Over the following decades, the theater staged mainly classical and Soviet realist works while various directors and designers shaped its evolution.
The theater is named after poet Taras Shevchenko and stands on Sumska Street, a key cultural address in Kharkiv. It continues to serve as a gathering place for people interested in Ukrainian drama and literature.
The theater is located at Sumska Street 9, a main street in Kharkiv and easy to find for visitors. Ticket prices vary depending on the performance and seating, so it is advisable to check for current offerings by phone or online.
In 2004, UNESCO art critics recognized the ensemble as one of the best in Europe. Under director Andriy Zholdak from 2002 to 2005, his productions gained international recognition and were performed in countries such as Germany, France, and Finland.
