Theatres
Chishinau
has a rich theatrical history. Right after the Second World War the building
of today's National theatre Mihai Eminescu has been constructed. Nowadays it
plays to its capacity.
Chisinau can be proud of such auditoriums, as Organ Hall and the Philharmonic
Society, which besides other, represent also the architectural value. The Organ
Hall has also an interesting history: its destiny was defined by the amazing
acoustics. This building in the pre-war past was a bank, later it has turned
to a music hall that possesses the unique Organ in Moldova.
The
National Theatre of Opera and Ballet is known for its huge number of productions
of great success and for the various prizes won at prestigious festivals. The
theatrical season begins at the end of the summer and lasts till the spring.
The annual festivals “Maria Bieshu Invites” are very popular with the amateurs
of opera art. Over ten years these festivals are held under the patronage of
the famous Moldavian opera singer.
Every year in the beginning of autumn celebrities of opera and ballet arts gather
in Chishinau. And during a week they please the spectators with beautiful performances
of classical musical compositions.In the concert hall of the National Palace
