Perm Tchaikovsky Opera and Ballet Theatre
Пермский театр оперы и балета им. Чайковского
A leading regional theatre in Russia, home to the nationally renowned Perm Ballet, with Tchaikovsky works in its repertoire.
The theatre opened in 1870 and is named after the composer Tchaikovsky, who was born in Perm Krai. During World War II the Kirov (Mariinsky) Ballet was evacuated here, laying the foundations for Perm's high standards in ballet. Its affiliated ballet school has trained many leading dancers, and in recent years the theatre has also earned international acclaim for its avant-garde opera productions. In front of the theatre is a leafy theatre garden. Ticket prices are far lower than in Moscow or St. Petersburg, making it well worth planning an evening here.
Opening hours
Open on show days; box office approx. 10:00–20:00
