Buying tickets for opera, ballet and theatre in Kyiv
Kyiv’s stages sell tickets through their own websites and box offices, and time their performances around the curfew.
Updated November 2026
Book direct
The safest way to buy is through the theatre’s own website or box office: opera.com.ua, ft.org.ua, lesyatheatre.com.ua, molodyytheatre.com, operetta.com.ua and nhm.com.ua.
Air alerts and the curfew
Performances start early enough to finish before the curfew and pause during an air alert, when the audience goes to the theatre’s shelter; matinees are the easiest to plan.
