Winter Theatre
Зимний театр
A Stalinist classical theater completed in 1937. Surrounded by 84 columns, it is an architectural landmark of Sochi and a venue for music and ballet performances.
The Winter Theatre was designed by the architect Konstantin Chichagin. Its exterior imitates an ancient Greek temple, surrounded by a colonnade of 84 Corinthian columns. Muse statues representing painting, sculpture and architecture stand on the roof. Inside, the luxurious auditorium seats about 1,000. The theatre is the main venue for events such as the Kinotavr Film Festival. During the performance season, it often hosts ballet, opera and concerts. Even without a performance, the square in front of the theatre and the stairs leading down to the sea are worth photographing.
