Astana Opera

The State Opera and Ballet Theatre “Astana Opera” was founded in 2013 on the initiative of the First President of Kazakhstan N. Nazarbayev. It is the third-largest opera theatre in the world. The technical capabilities of the theatre conform to international standards. The architectural perfection of the Astana Opera does not concede the famous opera theatres of the world such as the "La Scala" in Milan, the Royal Theatre in Madrid, the Bolshoi Theatre in Moscow, the Metropolitan Opera in New York and others.

In the Astana Opera, the main hall has 1250 seats. The area of the building is 64 thousand square meters. A scenic area occupies about 3,000 square meters. The tickets can get very expensive, but if you want to see a good Kazakh, Russian or Italian opera this is the place to be. Apart from shows, the building is worth the visit—filled to the brim with exciting pieces of art. The staff is very polite and helpful. The theatre has also opened a children's drama school, where young artists learn theatrical skills by preparing for performances on the magnificent stage of "Astana Opera" in the future.
