Description
Lviv National Academic Opera and Ballet Theater named after Solomiya Krushelnytska is the main symbol of Lviv - one of the most beautiful opera and ballet theaters in Europe and in the world. The building of Lviv Opera and Ballet Theater was completed in 1900 designed by talented architect Zygmunt Gorgolewski. It has always been in the center of historical and cultural life; experienced a change of four governments, has been renamed four times and it is printed on the 20 Hryvnia banknote. Interestingly enough, it was the first Opera House to be built in a city that wasn't the capital. Locals in Lviv are extremely proud of this landmark and there are many interesting stories about this monument. Lviv Opera and Ballet Theatre building has the shape of an elongated rectangle 95 by 45 meters. The theatre built of limestone and sandstone. In parterre, theatre loges and three balconies there are more than a thousand seats. The Lviv Opera House is built in a Neo-Renaissance style, which combines the elements of Renaissance, Baroque, and Classicism. On the top of the façade, you could see two allegoric bronze sculptural groups, which symbolize Drama, Comedy, and Music. In the center, a sculpture of Glory with a palm branch is placed. The interior is richly decorated with oil paintings, sculptures, and molding. For internal gilding, a few kilograms of gold had been used. Originally built on the former marshland of the submerged Poltva River, the Lviv Opera now sits at the end of Freedom Avenue, the tree-lined centerpiece of Lviv's historic Old City, a UNESCO World Heritage Site located in the city's Halych district. If you can see a performance while you are visiting, take the chance.
