A theater that has gained wide popularity and sincere love of the audience
The Lesya Ukrainka National Academic Drama Theater is located in the heart of the historical part of Kyiv at 5 Bohdan Khmelnytskyi St. The year of the institution's foundation is considered to be 1891. At that time, the theater building was known to Kyiv residents as the "Bergonier House". Preparations for the performances were begun by the talented actor and director Mykola Solovtsov. The capital's temple of Melpomene received the name of the famous Ukrainian poetess in 1941 after the sensational and incredibly successful production of Lesya Ukrainka's play "The Stone Master".
In December 2022, the theater team was headed by Kirill Grigorovich Kashlikov.
