Green theatre, Open-air theatre on Parkova Road, Kyiv, Ukraine.
Description
Green Theatre is an open-air venue on Parkova Road in Kyiv built into the slopes of the Dnieper River, using the natural hillside as tiered seating. The stage sits within a natural amphitheater framed by the riverbanks and surrounding terrain.
History
The theatre was built in 1949 on land that once held military fortifications. Its design incorporates surviving sections of 19th-century casemate walls originally part of the New Pechersk fortress.

The theatre serves as a popular outdoor gathering place where Kyiv residents experience performances set against the natural landscape. Visitors settle into the sloped seating and watch shows framed by the river surroundings.
Practical
