In brief

  • The National Theater of Opera, Ballet and Folk Ensemble is postponing the performances scheduled for this week.
  • The institution links the decision to the events of recent days in the capital, which prevent its program from running smoothly.
  • Tickets already bought will be valid for the new dates, which have not yet been announced.

The National Theater of Opera, Ballet and Folk Ensemble (TKOBAP) has informed the public that the performances scheduled on its stage for this week will be postponed to a later date. The announcement was published Tuesday on the institution's official page.

According to TKOBAP, the decision follows the events of recent days in the capital, which make it impossible for activities previously set in the artistic calendar to proceed smoothly.

Which performances are affected

Among the events being moved are a concert for string orchestra and choir by the “Nova” ensemble, the contemporary ballet “Soul Chain” and the program “Four seasons-one humanity.” These are only some of the week's performances affected by the decision.

For audience members who had already secured admission, the theater offers a guarantee: “All tickets purchased will remain valid for the new dates,” the announcement says.

TKOBAP has not yet released the new performance schedule, so the public should follow the theater's official channels for the dates to be set.
