We decided to see Swan Lake, a well known international ballet. However, we were pleasantly surprised to discover that a wide range of well known Opera and Musicals were playing at the Opera House. We didn’t expect much from the opera calendar at the Lviv Opera House – a few Ukrainian style musicals that we have never heard of is all we ever expected. However, the performances are world class so you also will not regret going for a night of entertainment. The price is one reason you should visit (even if you don’t like opera or ballet) $2 just is see inside this beautiful building is well worth it. Now if that is not a bargain I’ll never know what is! The Lviv Opera is an exception to that rule – you can get tickets for 50 UAH which is about $2 USD. In most capital cities around the world a night at the opera will set you back $60 USD +. Going to the Opera is usually an expensive treat.

We had already done many of the other attractions the city had to offer and of course visited all the funky Lviv nightlife and cafes but were yet to see a show at the Lviv opera. The Lviv Opera was something we had been pondering doing for while in Lviv.
