The theater was founded in 1917 in Kyiv as the first state theater of Ukraine – the Ukrainian National Theater. Since 1923, it has been named after Mariia Zankovetska.
There are 4 stages - Main (785 seats), Chamber (60 s.), Strykh (70 s.), Skarbek's Hall (40 s.), the repertoire fills about 40 performances.
A carpentry and tailoring workshop fully covers the production of sets and costumes, with more than 50 specialists, including prop makers, painters, and carpenters. The administrative floor is expanding with creative specialists to meet modern needs.
The theater has a resident acting company of more than 80 people, with additional performers invited for specific projects. The full orchestra works across genres, performing both concerts and collaborating on musicals and music-driven productions.
In 2023, a creative "reboot" of the theater took place, headed by Maksym Holenko, new general director - artistic director.
