Some of the most interesting performances for children and youth – Ukrainian and World classic works – have included D. Herasymchuk “Knyazhich Lev”, the historical fantasy about the foundation of Lviv; Brothers Grimm “Snowwhite and the seven Dwarfts”, T. Shevechenko “Nazar Stodolya” and Moliere’s “Tartuffe”.

The Les Kurbas Theatre of Lviv is one of Ukraine’s most critically acclaimed theatres – both in Ukraine and abroad.

Lviv Voskresinnia Theatre was founded in 1990 by Yaroslav Fedoryshyn and group of young actors from various cities of Ukraine. In a short while, the Theatre won the respect of audiences and theatre critics due to the consistent search for its own distinctively expressive stage form. The Theatre opens up new horizons to Ukrainian spectators, staging plays of world acclaim for the first time in the country and gradually it is broadening the artistic awareness of the audience and actors.

The Maria Zankovetska Drama Theatre is the national theatre with national repertoire.
