A beautiful building, externally in the national style, inside it is beautiful and comfortable.
We watched the ballet "Giselle", we liked it. Because I've watched this ballet more than once, I can compare it. The production is quite on the level, we enjoyed watching it. Not the Bolshoi Theatre or the Mariinsky, but very worthy. I especially liked the dancer, the main character. Thank you very much to all the artists and the director.
GABT named after A. Navoi is the center of cultural life in Tashkent.
The repertoire of the theater includes mainly classical productions of world classics. Guest concerts, tours of foreign performances, and theater festivals are also held here.
The theater building is an architectural monument of the mid-20th century. Its courtyard depicts the wonderful world of national folklore art. The author of the design of the building was academician Alexei Shusev, who also built the mausoleum on Red Square in Moscow. The construction of the theater began in 1939. In 1942, it was suspended due to wartime difficulties, but construction continued in 1944. In November 1945, Japanese prisoners of war from the Kwantung Army were transferred to Tashkent. They were finishing the construction of the structure.
The auditorium of the GABT named after A.Navoi accommodates seats:
Stalls: 1- 10 rows — 258 seats;
Amphitheater: rows 1-11 — 222 seats;
Boxes: right and left with 15 seats each;
Balcony : 1st tier — 96 seats; 2nd tier — 84 seats.
The ticket office is open on weekdays from 11:00 to 19:00, on weekends from 10:00 to 18:00.
A beautiful building with a rich history. The halls and comfortable chairs have been restored. The repertoire is quite rich, the prices are reasonable. Concerts in front of the theater on the steps are also very impressive.
I would advise you to return the dress code and not let foreigners in the gym in shorts, hats and with food, just because they are foreigners.
