The Novosibirsk Opera and Ballet Theatre (NOVAT) is located in the heart of Novosibirsk, on Lenin Square. This is the largest theatre building in the country. The use of elements of modernist architecture and complex engineering structures make the theatre recognizable throughout the world. The building of the Opera Theatre is also called the Siberian Coliseum. Today, the Novosibirsk State Academic Opera and Ballet Theatre is a cultural heritage of Russia. Here you can attend unique modern productions with the participation of world stars.
Symbol of Victory in the history of the Opera House
The Novosibirsk State Academic Theatre began its history in 1945. The complex architectural complex was built and began operating during World War II, despite the extremely difficult situation, and became a symbol of Victory. NOVAT was created thanks to the revolutionary idea of the architect Vsevolod Meyerhold. According to his plan, the theatre was to become a modern space erasing the boundaries between actors and spectators.
More Bolshoi Theatre
The dome of the opera and ballet theater, the area of which is 42,000 m2, can accommodate the Moscow Bolshoi Theater. The large space already during construction implied a unique combination of art and technology. All the engineering developments known at that time were used here. Not only in size, but also in the level of technical equipment, NOVAT surpasses the famous Bolshoi and Mariinsky theaters. Under the huge dome of the Novosibirsk opera and ballet theater, you will hear stunning famous opera voices, and the decorations and interiors of the hall will amaze you with their grandeur and sophistication.
