From October 28 to November 3, there are three opportunities to attend a performance at the Lviv Opera: two on Friday and one on Sunday. If you've long wanted to spend an evening at the theater, you can choose between a cosmic story, Mozart, and a ballet based on Hugo.
Friday: "Solaris" and "Don Giovanni"
On October 30 at 18:00, the schedule features the ballet "Solaris" based on the novel by Stanisław Lem. The music was composed by Oleksandr Rodin, and the libretto was written by Vasyl Vovkun; the performance immerses you in a world where human consciousness meets the mysterious cosmos. If you enjoy contemporary ballet and fantastic plots, this could be the most interesting choice of the week.
That same evening at 18:00, Mozart's "Don Giovanni" is announced. So, Friday offers two very different theatrical moods — contemporary ballet fantasy and operatic classic. Before planning, note that both performances are scheduled for the same time.
Sunday: "Esmeralda"
On November 1 at 17:00, you can see the ballet "Esmeralda," staged based on Victor Hugo's novel "The Hunchback of Notre-Dame." This is an option for those who are more inclined towards literary plots and the ballet stage.
On Wednesday, Thursday, Saturday, Monday, and Tuesday, no performances are listed in the provided schedule. Which of the three options appeals to you more — "Solaris," "Don Giovanni," or "Esmeralda"?
