Vasile Alecsandri National Theater

The building makes its presence felt in a magical and inspiring way. Not only from its architecture but also from the baggage of history it holds on its back. As for the plays and concerts that I've experienced here, they are all impecable and very professional. The actors are amazing and I totally recommend to anyone to experience anything in this place.

Amazing hystoric building, first theather opened în România....

Most beautiful opera building I have ever been in and one of the most beautiful opera's I have ever seen! If you ever get the chance to visit this beautiful place, then this should be on your list.

I have had the opportunity to enjoy a magnificent show, Les pêcheurs de perles, in a venue which pictures can't really depict. The performance and orchestra really manage to get you in the story. You should absolutely buy tickets and see any show here, really!

One tip I'd have is do NOT buy tickets on the left balcony, rows 19, 20 and 21 on seats 1-2. Same thing for the right balcony. You'll be sitting behind the big light projectors and these will block your view of the show. We were lucky, though, it was possible to move to better seats during the break.

An unexpected visit as the guide had a surprise for our group with the tour of the theatre an hour before the show. So we stayed on. Enjoyed tremendously!

Magnificent place! I had a chance to enjoy two musicals in Romanian National Opera Iasi. Although the plays were in Romanian and French, I still received a great sense of satisfaction and pleasure. All inner space and ornaments are decorated in real gold. When there is a break between parts of the play, there is a chance to take pictures with vintage dresses and costumes. Prices are acceptable for all kind of budgets. Even if you are short of time or money, you can still visit and explore this beautiful place for just 5 lei during any day (only of rehearsals are not taken place). If you are a history, architecture or theatre lover, I 100% recommend to visit and enjoy the beauty of Romanian National Opera Iasi!

Vasile Alecsandri Theatre is the most beautiful theatre I have ever seen. It's design (interior and exterior) steals your heart.
Inside the painting and the sculpture takes you away in the 18's or 19's. You can imagine that era and the actors of that time play on the scene.
It's a great location for this type of events.
I was tonight here at a concert by Alexandra Usurelu and was the best experience ever.

One of the most beautiful buildings in the city although I am sorry I didn't get to see it on the inside

The Iași National Theatre, also known as the Vasile Alecsandri National Theater, is the oldest national theatre and one of the mostly respected theatrical institutions in Romania. In 1956, It was named after Vasile Alecsandri, a famous Romanian playwright and poet. The building also serves as the venue for the Iași Romanian National Opera.

Incredibly beautiful architecture. Similar to the Odessa Opera house. It's hard not to be impressed with the amount of details, richness and finnese of the interior elements - murals, masks...

A very interesting place. It's in same time the place where artist from Opera play and the artists from Theatre share the same stage. The hall is a piece of art and you are overwhelmed by emotions. You can discover here some awesome costumes of the most played shows.

Simply beautiful! Amazing venue, home to many great artists !

Warm atmosphere in a place heavy with emotion, history, and sentiment. We saw Chirița in Provincie, a Romanian classic, with a brilliant main actor!!!

Majestic place, life gets more sense there. Unique in daylight, marvelous during a show, this theater is one of a kind. The acoustics are breathtaking and the decor is astonishing.

Exellent place for soul and heart

Recently refurbished building, reuniting 2 cultural vectors of former Moldavia 's capital: National Theatre & Opera. Very impressive interiors with plenty of 19th century architectural details(a remarkable massive chandelier), modern restrooms, former performance props exhibition...

Well presented for tourists, each object has a thorough presentation sign.

The first, the best, one of the most beautiful in the world

One of the oldest and must go places in Iași.

You can buy a ticket online or directly from the agency inside the building.

We went to Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky's Swan Lake, performed by Iasi ballet group. It was amazing!
