Rostov Academic Youth Theatre

Rostov Academic Youth Theatre is a performance venue in Rostov-on-Don that stages regular shows designed for young audiences in Southern Russia. The building hosts a range of productions, from dramatic works to dance and opera elements.

The theatre building was constructed in 1889 by architect Nikolay Nikitich Durbakh and initially served as a general arts venue. Its shift to focus on youth performances began in 1930 and has shaped its identity since.

The theatre mixes classical stage works with contemporary interpretations, creating performances that speak directly to young audiences discovering theatre for the first time. This blend of old and new makes each show feel relevant and alive.

The venue offers multiple shows throughout the year at different times to suit various age groups. Plan ahead to find the right performance for your audience's interests and age.

The theatre creates specialized programs that weave together opera, dance, and dramatic elements specifically designed to support young people's artistic growth. This tailored approach makes it rare among venues that combine art forms to blend education with entertainment.
