Originally designed by Zygmunt Gorgolewski, a graduate of the Berlin Building Academy and then the director of city’s Engineering Academy, the Lviv Opera and Ballet Theatre was erected on former marshland of the submerged Poltva River at the end of the 19th Century, and now sits at the end of Prospect Svobody [Freedom Avenue], the tree-lined centerpiece of Lviv’s historic Old City, a UNESCO World Heritage Site located in the city’s Halych district.
Originally called the Grand Theatre, the Opera and Ballet Theatre was re-named in honor of the poet/activist Ivan Franko in 1956. In 2000, the Lviv Opera celebrated its own centennial with another renaming, this time after one of the city’s native daughters, Solomiya Krushelnytska, a renowned soprano of the early 20th century.
