- 21 The Opera House (the 'soft' centre of the city?). The building is perhaps modeled after SemperOper of Dresden, however it is supposed to be double as beautiful as the Yerevan building is two sided: One side (entrance from the Theatrical/Freedom square) is home to Opera and Ballet Theatre, while the street side houses the Khachaturian Concert Hall. For music fans, attend cheap and excellent performances at the Opera or the Chamber Music Orchestra. If a national dance group is performing, don’t miss it. (updated Oct 2024)
- 22 Moscow theatre, Abovyan St. Opened in 1936, with 4 theatre halls. (updated Oct 2024)
- 23 Sundukyan State Academic Theatre, 6 Grigor Lusavorich Street (English Park). The oldest modern theatre in Armenia, here you can see the most famous actors of the country perform. (updated Oct 2024)
- 24 Yerevan Circus. A new circus building finished in 2018, on the place of a former one which was demolished in 2012. Opening of the circus was planned for 2020, postponed by the pandemic and as of 2024 it has still yet to open. (updated Oct 2024)
