Novosibirsk Opera and Ballet Theatre, Opera house in Novosibirsk, Russia.
The Novosibirsk Opera and Ballet Theatre is an opera house with constructivist architecture in the center of Novosibirsk. The dome of the main building spans the central area and forms the core of the spatial design.
Construction was completed in February 1944, during World War II, when many cultural institutions were relocated to Siberia. The first performance took place on 12 May 1945, shortly after the war ended in Europe.
The repertoire includes Russian classics and international productions, making it a meeting point for opera lovers in Siberia. Performances draw visitors from across the region and shape the city's cultural life.
The 2005 renovation brought new stage technology that allows contemporary stagings. Visitors should plan enough time before a performance to explore the entrance hall and main spaces.
The building is protected as a federal cultural heritage site and ranks among the largest theatre structures in Russia. The interior dimensions allow productions with large ensembles and elaborate stage sets.
