Worthy of 5 stars. It’s a beautiful opera house. Very accessible. Decent prices. Relaxed atmosphere. I saw Madame Butterfly. Surprised me how few people dress up here. Appreciative audience. Very good singers

One of the most beautiful buildings that Odessa has, it is essential to visit it in its entirety. I recommend going to see one of its many concerts, ballets or operas. But buy your tickets there. (The website of the opera is not working)

Stunningly beautiful. A trip back to another era. Even with nosebleed seats (cost less than $5!) it was an enjoyable place to see dance and opera. Be warned: opera is translated into Ukrainian so English speakers are out in the cold

If you want to know the finer details of its Academic architecture and technical specifications you could take a daytime tour, but nothing beats coming to an opera or ballet performance. These are very reasonably priced by Western European standards, and seats in the stalls and at the front of the balconies go for as little as €15. So a night watching Carmen, Swan Lake or Iolanta could be a spur of the moment thing provided you packed a smart-ish outfit.
