National Opera and Ballet Theatre “Maria Bieșu”
Theatre in Centre, Chișinău
The Maria Bieșu National Opera and Ballet Theatre is Moldova’s main stage for opera and ballet, named after the celebrated soprano. Its repertoire includes classic operas such as La Traviata, Carmen and Madama Butterfly, ballets like Spartacus and Cipollino, as well as symphonic and gala concerts featuring the theatre’s soloists, choir and orchestra.
The building stands at 152 Ștefan cel Mare și Sfânt Boulevard in central Chișinău. Audiences are highly satisfied: reviews repeatedly praise the strength of the productions, the sets and costumes, the singers’ voices and the thrill of a first visit to the opera. Some visitors note shortcomings in seating comfort and organisation.
Tickets are sold at the box office and online via iticket.md. The current playbill is published on tnob.md. Young children are not admitted to the main hall.
