Reviews from Real Guests:

Franfromivegill: The performances here do not have the sumtuous grandeur of those hosted at Astana Opera House. The theatre is smaller. The whole experience is, however, just as rewarding. Cloakrooms near the entrance allow dance-lovers to dress as they wish whatever the weather - some evening dress - some smart-casual - no judgements. This theatre tends to host more modern dance as well as traditiobal ballet. Look out for the special events where visiting troupes are welcomed. Prices for seats are incredibly good value compared to most major cities - with even lower priced seats allowing excellent views in confortabke seats. No photographs are allowed during the performances.

Day 2 | Afternoon

Monument Kazakh Eli nearby is the top choice before you leave Astana Ballet Theater and hit the road.

Monument Kazakh Eli

The square is very big, and the memorial column on the square is very spectacular. The magic bird at the top of the stone pillar is made in China, majestic and magnificent.
