City

13 May 2026, Wed. 19:30 - 21:30
Львівська національна опера Lviv, Svobody Ave, 28

The plastic performance "City" at the Lviv National Opera is a modern and bold reinterpretation of the iconic novel by Valerian Pidmohylny. The plot centers on Stepan Radchenko's journey from a village barn to the opera boxes and literary recognition. This is a story about how a big city lures with opportunities, teaches you to change masks, and demands a cruel price for success, transforming the body and soul of everyone who seeks to become a part of it.

Urban passion: Stepan Radchenko's journey through body language

Why will this evening at the Lviv Opera be your special experience? This is not just a theatrical production, but a visual blockbuster about bodily transformation. On Numotamo.com, it is convenient to find this event in the Lviv poster to spend quality time and replenish the treasury of memories with a performance where intimacy becomes a tool of adaptation, and the women in the hero's life — from the tender Nadiya to the cold Rita — personify different states of the City itself. This is an ideal plan for those who want to see a classic without words, but with incredible plastic energy.

Watching "The City" will help you breathe out and reduce your stress level by immersing yourself in the aesthetics of modern dance and psychological drama. This is your "anti-weekend", where the star of the Ukrainian screen Grigoriy Baklanov will play the main role, revealing an image familiar from school in a completely new, sometimes provocative light. Going out to such an event is an opportunity to feel the rhythm of a metropolis that accelerates, seduces and keeps a distance, forcing everyone to recognize themselves in the heroes.

Why is it worth planning a visit to this show?

  • To see the star of the series "Catch Kaidash" Grigory Baklanov in a complex, plastic role;
  • Enjoy modern choreography combined with the deep philosophical content of the 1920s classics;
  • Feel the atmosphere of Kyiv during the "shot revival" through the prism of Anna Shkrogal's modern scenography;
  • Appreciate director Igor Bilits' bold approach to issues of sex, social elevators, and the lost spark of sincerity.

Will Stepan Radchenko be able to conquer the City without losing his own identity, or will he forever remain just one of his many masks? Come find the answer in the hall. The current ticket price for the performance "City" is always indicated on the Numotamo website, so we recommend booking your seats in advance - this premiere promises to be the main cultural explosion of the spring.
