Lviv. The Zankovetska Theatre. 'Christmas Night'

The magical Christmas night is wrapped in prophecies and bound up with traditions that are lovingly kept to this day. In the evening, with the first star, costumed carollers come to the houses with wishes of goodness and prosperity, while grateful hosts wait for them and generously treat the participants of the festive rite to sweets. The whole family gathers at the festive table, on which there are 12 dishes of Ukrainian cuisine. On the good festive days everyone waits for gifts and for wishes to come true. For many years now, ahead of the beloved and long-awaited holidays, the Maria Zankovetska National Academic Drama Theatre in Lviv has been giving a true wonder — a production for collective, individual and family viewing, "Christmas Night".

27 March, Theatre Day. A Tour of Ukraine's Theatres

Theatre Day, founded by the International Theatre Institute under UNESCO, has been celebrated all over the world since 1961. On 27 March congratulations go to all who are involved in creating vivid spectacles in the temples of Melpomene — stage directors, artists, actors, costumiers, decorators, producers, cashiers, sound engineers, cloakroom attendants and all theatre-lovers, spectators and students of theatrical colleges. And although this holiday is considered professional, and the date is not marked in red in the calendars, for the workers of the stage this day is always a working one, and the spectator is the most welcome guest.
