Great theater! I've been an opera fan since childhood. You can invite the guests of Belarus here. The opera of Aida is excellent! Ballets are also beyond praise.

The theater is majestic and very beautiful, we were in the chamber hall at a concert of musicians of the Bolshoi Theater Orchestra of Belarus, wind instruments, the concert was ecstatic, emotions were off the scale, everyone played just super, trombonists, trumpeters, I remember the drummer Mikhail Konstantinov and the clarinetist forgot the name of the Bubble? Sorry, I can confuse it, but the musicians are just great, had a great evening, the ensemble is called Amadeus bass, bravo, everything else is there, buffet, toilet and elevator, though to the first floor, ballerinas' costumes are presented in the lobby, I recommend everyone to visit, a toy seller gave ballet in the Great Hall that day, I bought tickets for on the website, she showed on the screen at the entrance, tickets are inexpensive for 16 bel rub

Minsk is lucky with the theater! Actually, the repertoire here is very different, we got to the ballet, just because we had not been to the ballet for a long time and coincided with a visit to Minsk. The atmosphere is excellent, the detailed and very beautifully restored building both externally and with interiors sets a very solemn atmosphere. A lot of buffets are scattered on the floors so as not to create a stir. The prices are quite reasonable, both for tickets and in the buffet.
The hall is comfortable with a good slope - the audience in front does not block the view. Wide aisles, generally nice. The area in front of the theater with a fountain is also great.
The toilets are large and clean.
I'm definitely not a critic of art and I won't review a specific production, I'll just say that I liked everything.

We were very lucky to visit the Bolshoi Theatre, the opera The Marriage of Figaro. A luxurious theater, an interesting production, in which all the audience is involved.

Beauty, everything is monumental, brilliant and expensive-rich. Yes, not a Mariinsky, of course, but very worthy! Big stage, pretty good chairs/rows. One thing did not seem very good - the slope is too small, and if a tall man sat down in front of you, then it will greatly interfere with you. The acoustics are not bad, everything is audible.

A huge, majestic building with beautiful sculptures and a fountain.
Everything is very solemn and beautiful inside!
A little bit about the mundane: I liked that despite the fact that the whole hall was packed, there was no queue for the women's toilet)) and you can book a table for the intermission, you come, and you already have everything, it's convenient)
Of the cons: the hall is stuffy, there is a huge queue to the bar, it has dissipated by the end of the intermission, and they are kicked out very quickly after the end of the performance (

The cultural face of the capital, For me the theater is Elizariev and Yeromkina! Every production is special. The theater itself, an amateur theater building. I hear different opinions, but I will express my own. Comfort is not provided in the theater, the winter queue in the lobby is especially depressing (therefore, arriving in a ball gown is a risky event.

A very beautiful theater from the point of view of architecture, next to a large green recreation area, which is very important for the center of Minsk. Ticket prices are low, the productions are large-scale, solid, and interesting. I was at the opera Eugene Onegin, beautiful scenery, costumes. I liked everything

A diverse repertoire. It's very beautiful inside, comfortable chairs and their location in the stalls (I can't say about the rest of the seats). Polite, friendly staff. They gave the "Bat", we really liked the performance.

The best theater in Minsk. A gorgeous poster every month. Colorful, meaningful productions. It's cozy inside and nice to walk in the park near the theater. Great fountain season opening ceremonies. I'm shooting a star for the attitude of some theater workers: some turned off the lights in the hall after the evening performance and drove away those who wanted to take a memorable photo, others drove people out of the wardrobe with the phrase "Let's hurry up. We are already closed." There was an unpleasant aftertaste.

A magnificent theater! The first time I was in Minsk and the first visit to the theater and watching the ballet "Swan Lake". The theater itself impresses not only from the outside, but also inside with its space and ceiling height. The decoration is made of expensive materials, columns, chandeliers, sofas. Also in the hall of the theater there are expositions of costumes from performances that were staged in this theater. I liked the decoration of the auditorium itself, without any extra pretentiousness, everything is tasteful. Comfortable seats both in the porter and in the boxes. It will be very convenient for the audience to watch the performances from any place in the auditorium. The hall is made so that from the stage to the end of the hall, the seats are raised higher gradually, and not at the stage level, as in many theaters in Russia.

The Bolshoi Theatre of Belarus in Minsk is a historical symbol and cultural wealth of the Republic of Belarus. This magnificent structure, which is an example of Soviet pre-war constructivism, is not only a national monument of architecture, but also a great art. It was founded in 1933 and has since become an integral part of the Belarusian opera and ballet scene.
The history of the theater was tested by time and severe trials during the Great Patriotic War, when the building was destroyed. However, thanks to the efforts and determination of the people, the opera house was restored and became a symbol of national recovery and cultural wealth.
Today, the Bolshoi Theater continues to delight its audience with magical performances, presenting more than 80 operas and ballets, including national works and world classics. This is a place where art comes to life, and its reputation as one of the greatest opera houses in the country is deservedly confirmed.

It's a good theater, but the tickets are sold with a view of a painted white wall, and to make sure that the wonderful performance of the actors is not visible, there is a thick velvet curtain. So it is very important to choose a good place so as not to spoil your mood for your own money, please replace it with a lot. No one will move you anywhere.

We were at the Opera "Iolanta". I really liked it. I was impressed by the costumes, the scenery and of course the solo parts, the music. There is text in Russian and English on the screen under the stage, which is very convenient. The program costs 4.5 rubles. It's very beautiful inside. The opera is two-act, the acts are short for less than an hour, perfect for hiking with a child. The atmosphere is wonderful.

it gets better and better every year. The theater is located in a very beautiful place in a park on the riverbank. the level of opera productions is steadily increasing: I come here from Moscow to listen carefully :-) the interior of the theater is classic Soviet and it's beautiful — Soviet architects and designers did not hesitate to use the best practices of their predecessors: as a result, it is a very stylish room decorated with marble, wood and fabric, which is not only beautiful, but also provides excellent acoustic properties. whoever has not been here lives in vain, in short

The theater is gorgeous, I came from Moscow for a few days and went to Prince Igor, I liked it so much that I also went to Eugene Onegin. The theater itself is very beautiful, the vocalists sing beautifully. An incredible orchestra of strength. For a Muscovite, an opera for 500 rubles is just a gift from heaven!!! The next time I go to Minsk, I will book the opera in advance. Of the minuses, I can only note the absence of a Wi-Fi zone on the territory of the theater. I didn't have a local connection and, accordingly, the Internet, I had to look for the nearest cafe after the theater to call a taxi to the hotel. ))) But on the other hand, it's also good, a walk after the opera) In general, I advise everyone unequivocally!!!🔥🔥🔥🩷

the performances are great, the costumes, the performance, the scenery, everything is very good, there are a lot of places, the staff is friendly and pleasant, the distance between the seats is not thought out at all, you sit and breathe on someone... this is a minus, and of course the people who come sometimes are simply amazed by their bad manners, they sit chatting and behave just disgusting, but this is not the fault of the theater, so I recommend it.

For the main theater of the city, and possibly the country, it is passable. The prices are quite affordable, the productions are interesting, the actors of the theater are diligent. I was confused by the cerberus caretakers, who are ready to take your phone away from you, so long as you don't take pictures or take pictures. A normal practice for any theater, however, it is embodied in an aggressive manner, which overshadows the viewing of the play.

Come early, parking is a problem, especially since there is where and how to spend time before the performance: you can look at stage costumes, check into photo zones, and just have a cup of coffee in the buffet. You can book a table in advance, especially if you are with a group and not driving.
Who rarely goes to the opera - take seats in the box on the mezzanine, in the last row. There you can tap into the phone without disturbing others.
I was listening to The Magic Flute. I was just listening. From time to time, he put down his phone and began to follow the action on stage. The opera was more interesting than the phone. That's it.

We visited the opera La Traviata with our daughter. The theater itself is amazing! This is one of the few buildings in Minsk that survived after the war, although the city was almost completely destroyed - the Germans knew a lot, and decided to keep the theater for themselves. The interior is very beautiful and solemn and at the same time without excessive pretentiousness. As for the production, you need to have a very good and subtle taste (and of course courage) in order to transfer the classic plot to the modern world. Everything was exactly like that here - carefully, tactfully, with taste. Well, the great music of Verdi and the vocal skills of the artists are creepy, to tears! At the end of the action, the whole hall gave a standing ovation!!! I was surprised by the lack of crowds and queues (to the cloakroom, buffet, toilet), as well as the location itself - a little away from the big streets, in a green park area. And yet, the rather early start and end time of the action is from 18:00 to 20:55 (although there were 3 intermissions between the actions!). What was the right decision - to take tickets to this theater in advance (ordered from Moscow, when planning a trip)! And by the way, the ticket price (1st row of the dress circle, the middle is about 600 Russian rubles), however, as well as the prices in the buffet are simply amazing! Oh, if our Big tickets cost that much, I wouldn't get out of there! 🤣

The National Academic Bolshoi Opera and Ballet Theatre in Minsk is the largest in Belarus.
White marble, red velvet and crystal create a feeling
of restrained luxury.
A beautiful, cozy auditorium with tiered balconies and a modern stage allow viewers and classical lovers to enjoy opera and ballet art.

Beautiful, pompous. The sweetest production of "The Nutcracker", absolutely doll-like, marshmallow-tender. The corps de ballet sometimes crashes, but the lead dancers are fine. The orchestra is also on a solid 4+.

The theater is beautiful, snow-white, white marble inside, spacious, bright. We watched the ballet Corsair. After the Mariinsky Theatre, I would like to criticize the level of performance, but I will not. The performance is very colorful and still left a good mood. And tickets are more affordable than we have at the Mariinsky Theatre for ballet.

Among the advantages: affordable tickets (unlike in Russia, for example), but the level, of course, is not the same. Cool scene features - lights, visual effects. Of course, the live sound is cool. The level of the dancers is average, the vocals have been very disappointing in places lately. And I really want a ballet NOT by Elizariev, I want a fresh approach, new ideas and solutions. I am glad that the program always includes, in addition to classics, Belarusian productions: for example, according to Korotkevich.

The high level of service, friendliness and communication culture of the theater staff is uplifting. The acting is also at a very high level. You can feel their dedication and a lot of work on stage. The costumes of the actors match their images, they are very beautiful! Theater tickets need to be bought about a month in advance, because they are disassembled very quickly. The theater will appeal to those who love live classical music.
