The Krasnoyarsk Opera and Ballet Theater will close for major renovations in 2027, and productions will be relocated during the work.
Thus, some of the performances will be staged at the Metallurgists' Palace in Green Grove. There, performances will be held in halls with 596 and 200 seats. Also, some productions that are appropriate in terms of the format and technical parameters of the stages will be presented in leading cultural venues: the Pushkin Theater, the regional philharmonic and the musical theater.
The theater will continue to tour the Krasnoyarsk region and plans to expand its geography. In addition, we will discuss touring projects in other regions of Russia and abroad, added the press service of the opera.
The repairs to the building in Theaternaya Square will be carried out in stages. First the facade and the technical equipment will be updated, and then the auditorium and the foyer. The opera will open in 2028.
In total, 4.7 billion rubles were allocated for these works. At the same time, initially they wanted to restore the theater building. The project suggested creating panoramic windows at the central entrance and even using the roof for preparations. The ideas were abandoned.
