About Olha Kobylianska Chernivtsi Drama Theatre

Olha Kobylianska Chernivtsi Academic Regional Ukrainian Music and Drama Theatre (Ukrainian: Чернівецький академічний обласний український музично-драматичний театр імені Ольги Кобилянської), also known as Kobylianska Drama Theatre, is a drama and music theatre located in Chernivtsi, Ukraine.

The current building of the theater is a neobaroque architectural monument of national significance, built in 1905 by an Austrian architectural bureau Fellner & Helmer. In 1940, the theater received its first professional crew. In 1954, it was renamed after a Ukrainian writer and playwright Olha Kobylianska.

In 2023, a new workshop chamber stage space of the theater was opened in the building of a historic electrical substation on Lesi Ukrainky Street. Chernivtsi Music and Drama Theatre is a part of European Route of Historic Theatres.
