Ms. Lezova is a world class ballerina and DO NOT miss her performance as Odette in Tchaikovski's Swan Lake if it is showing at the National Opera House of the Ukraine while you are visiting Kiev. I'm just starting to get interested in live ballet performance and now I'm worried that nothing else, short of traveling to St. Petersburg or... More

If you are a guest of Kyiv, you should visit Operahouse! If you leave in Kyiv - visit it twice! Atmosphere, sound, architecture, performance are fantastic! It's real pleasure for opera and ballet lovers! More

We went to see "Giselle" performed by the Kiev Ballet. The building and its premises are quite impressive and well-maintained. It was also surprising to find several wardrobe counters, where one can deliver heavy winter coats and other accessories, so people do not have to stand in queue for a long time to deliver and retrieve them again - and...

The talent displayed by the dancers and the orchestra was just world class. The seats are comfortable, the view was perfect, and the audience was very sophisticated.... More
