Chişinău National Opera, the national opera company of Moldova, based in the country's capital, Chişinău, was founded in the mid-1940s and became a professional company in 1956. Following the collapse of the USSR, the company is one of the few ex-Soviet opera companies to retain its own orchestra, chorus, soloists and ballet company. The company has toured with several operas to Britain and Ireland with productions of operas such as Carmen, Turandot and Nabucco.
It is housed in the same theater as the National Opera Ballet.
