Crimean Opera House Pulls Back Curtains On Russian Sanctions Loophole March 03, 2021 16:56 GMT Share share Print Sanctions have prohibited companies from doing business with the Russian authorities controlling Crimea for more than six years, but Western participation in the development of a bold, seagull-inspired opera house flies in the face of that ban. The Sevastopol State Opera and Ballet Theater, designed by the avant-garde Austrian architectural firm Coop Himmelb(l)au and expected to open in 2023, is part of a massive Kremlin-ordered cultural complex being constructed on the southern tip of the peninsula. Overlooking Sevastopol Bay alongside one of the Soviet Union s largest war monuments, the complex promises to rise as the grandest symbol yet of Russia s defiance of punitive measures imposed following its 2014 seizure of the Ukrainian Black Sea peninsula and ongoing involvement in the separatist conflict in eastern Ukraine.
