The Bishkek Opera and Ballet Theatre is situated in Abdrahmanov street. It was opened in 1937 in Frunze (now Bishkek) as a Drama and Music Theatre. Over the 70 years every evening the stage of the theatre is illuminated by the soffit lights, the curtain rises and the performance starts.  For it is long and rich history the theatre has staged a lot of various performances, plays, musicals, operas, and ballets.

The architecture of theatre is a real example of the Ancient Greek classical style. The façade is decorated by a huge colonnade. The columns are accomplished with the gorgeously gypseous white bas-reliefs. The chiseled sculptures of muses are raised on the roof.

The architecture project was implemented by architects Ivanov and Laburenko. The theatre is a real architectural wonder. Looking at this masterpiece you are literally transferred to the Ancient Greece.
