Lviv National Opera presents a show “Birth of Independence”, which features a unique combination of classical music, light show and street theater.

The history of Independence of Ukraine will be conceptualized in two well-known compositions: the first movement of the cantata “Carmina Burana” by C. Orff as a symbol of the European context of the formation of the Ukrainian nation and the feeria “When the Fern Blooms” by Ye. Stankovych (a work that was banned by the Soviet authorities and fought for decades for the right to exist).

In between a street performance “Dreams about Kobzar” will be presented based on the poetry of Taras Shevchenko and staged by Lviv Academic Theater Voskresinnia. It gives an opportunity to feel and see the dream about independent Ukraine from the perspective of Taras Shevchenko.

200 performers of combined choir, ballet, gymnasts, and orchestra will take part in the show.

Let us celebrate the 30th anniversary of the Independence of Ukraine together!

Manifestation of creativity in space and time. Synthesis of arts that reveals human talent. Feel the symphony of life!
