OPERA BALLET NATIONAL

Concert halls
4/5
1 review

It's a must at one of your parties in Bishkek. Ask for the program: ballet, opera, classical music... it is not only very varied but also very popular, according to the rule of the right to culture for all wanted during the Soviet period. And despite the low prices, the shows are of very good quality. Avoid the theatre if you don't speak Russian, but ballet or opera are definitely worth the trip. The building itself is splendid, with its classic orange-coloured façade and the beautifully decorated and crafted interior.

PHILHARMONIQUE

Concert halls

Concerts of Western or Kyrgyz music are frequently held here, with occasional traditional dance performances. The programs are available at the cash registers, located on the west side of the building. Prices have remained very low since the Soviet era, and there are very good seats for all kinds of programs, so don't deprive yourself of the experience, it's worth it. In front of the Philharmonic, there is a statue of the hero Manas, the main character in the great lyrical epic of the same name.

One of the most recent cinemas in Bishkek, built by a Turkish group offering many Russian films but also all the American blockbusters. Some are dubbed but most films are only subtitled. The halls and seats are very correct, as well as the sound and image, and Russia has become the meeting place for all film students or simply lovers of emotions in Bishkek. A small café and a restaurant serving mainly snacks complete the set for those who want to linger after the session.
