Reviewed By Rambolec - Wroclaw, Poland
Opera massive building impressed me much! It is so beautiful from outside. I liked interiors as well. I'm sure it's "must be" point on the list of every tourist in Odessa. I wanted to see Sleeping Beauty ballet by Tchaikovsky and it was perfect choice. The performance fished with standing ovation. Dancers were simply supermen. And music live was perfect. I would love to come back here one day :-)
