Kharkiv State Academic Opera and Ballet Theatre named after Mykola Lysenko

Kharkiv, Ukraine · built 1925

The Kharkiv National Academic Opera and Ballet Theatre named after Mykola Lysenko is a theater in Kharkiv, Ukraine. The postmodern theater building was built in 1991 and features tufa tiles. Notable performances at the venue include a 2019 production of the ballet Swan Lake, choreographed by Johan Nus, which used 42 tons of water. On December 23, 2020, the opera house was the site of the funeral for Kharkiv mayor Hennadii Kernes. A student-led study at the Kharkiv School of Architecture found that the theater is considered a "community hub" and that the exterior is popular with skateboarders.
