Lviv is a city of music. Just take a walk and you’ll hear great music in the streets. But there’s also the grand Opera House, the Philharmonia, many theatres, festivals, and clubs. Here we present to you what’s playing every day.

Twice as much vinyl – twice as many guests from the capital! With Jurgen Shustov and Safin, this Saturday aftepati format will be remembered for a long time. It is not often that it is possible to listen to two representatives of the vinyl sound culture in one place and in the evening at once with the best musical material, which has been collected from all over the world for many years.
The collection includes funky, house records with a jazz mood

Lviv National Opera
Tosca
G. Pucini
18:00-20:40
75-500 uah
One of the most performed operas in the world, Tosca by G. Puccini impresses the audience with dramatic and unique music, starting from the very first «demonic» chords.
Sincere love and lust, art and tyranny, hope destroyed in the fatal tragic finale – the opera is full of dynamic contrasts and the rapidly unfolding fascinating plot.
Sung in Italian with Ukrainian subtitles
