Teatralna is a station on the Sviatoshynsko-Brovarska Line of the Kiev Metro system. The station serves as a transfer point, via a pedestrian walkway connecting it to the Zoloti Vorota station on the Syretsko-Pecherska Line. The station was opened in 1987, between the Universytet and Khreshchatyk stations which were opened 27 years earlier. Currently there is a proposal for a second entrance to the station.
The station owes its name to the Kiev Opera Theatre located a few blocks away, and Lesya Ukrainka National Academic Theater of Russian Drama, next to the metro entrance. Prior to 1992, the station was known as Leninska (, ) from its location on Leninska Street (renamed to Khmelnytska Street), in reference to Soviet leader Vladimir Lenin.
Teatralna may stand for:
- Teatralna (Kiev Metro), a station of the Kiev Metro system in Kiev, Ukraine.
- Teatralna (Dnipropetrovsk Metro), a station of the Dnipropetrovsk Metro system in Dnipropetrovsk, Ukraine.
Teatralna is a station currently under construction on the Dnipropetrovsk Metro's Tsentralno–Zavodska Line. It was projected to be opened by 2015. But construction was stopped because the tender to select the contractor was stopped by the city council in August 2015. The station is named for its proximity next to the city's drama theatre and the theatre of opera and ballet.
Originally scheduled to be opened in 1993 as Park Chkalova , the station's construction was delayed significantly after the fall of the Soviet Union. Budget issues and economic instability in Ukraine further delayed the station's opening.
The station is located deep underground in the center of Dnipropetrovsk, and is located right after the line's current terminus, Vokzalna, and Tsentralna, another station currently under construction. It is not known what final form the station will take on; whether it will be a deep column or a single-vault station.
