Heldeke

Comedy, Burlesque, Circus, Music, Magic, and the List Goes On... We're not your average beer pub — we are a vaudeville-style show venue with an exquisite bar, offering you a chance to slip away from the mundane. We'll make you laugh. We'll make you cringe. We'll turn you on. We'll turn you off. We'll move you. We'll lift your mood. Come and allow yourself to be entertained. PS. We also run sauna events!

They host many different kind of performances and shows: stand-up, burlesque, concerts of all kind, sauna evenings, jam sessions... It became one of the main places to satisfy the appetite for cultural events of Tallinn people (both locals and foreigners). The place looks cozy, and it has a unique layout for Tallinn: a small amphitheatrum-shaped place for performing with a bar for drinks and a sauna in the next room! Up the Heldekers!

Estonian National Opera

Reviewed By TravelingLily2014 - Niskayuna, United States

We saw that the opera house was in Tallinn and found tickets for a performance of “West Side Story”. It was absolutely wonderful from start to finish. The opera house itself is just lovely. Although it is rather small, it is well-designed and the seats were extremely comfortable. The production was excellent. On the night we attended, Maria, Tony and Anita were played by British singers. Others were from the Baltic countries. Dancing, singing, acting and orchestra were all top-notch.

Von Krahl Theatre

The Von Krahl -- the first privately owned and operated theatre following Estonian re-independence -- was founded in 1991. Von Krahl aspires to be a different kind of theatre, open to experiments, and it has in principle stayed the same over the years. Only the institutional side has changed and the artistic calibre has become increasingly professional. In 2003, Von Krahl entered a period of expansion and the Von Krahl Academy was launched as a first in Estonia.

Arvo Part Centre

Reviewed By dylanvt42 - Jericho, United States

Located in the woods in a nice, quiet village about 20 minutes outside Tallinn. The building itself is gorgeous inside and out. They speak, and have materials available in, English. You're provided an audio device that you can listen to Pärt's music on while reading about the background of the works. The short film they show is fun and fascinating. The concert hall and chapel are so serene, and the library is full of scores and all sorts of books in Estonian, Russian, German, English, and other languages. We were there on the last day of the season, and some of the exhibits were closed, but it was still worth a trip. Better to go before mid-December, so everything's still open.

NUKU theatre & puppetry museum

NUKU theatre & museum is the country’s only professional puppet centre. The theatre aims to offer high quality and diverse visual theatre and puppetry to all ages. The museum's main exhibition starts from the very beginning. You can touch air and see what puppetry does to water, fire and earth - the main elements of everything we see. Then, you can visit the Marionette Room, Rod and Glove Puppet Room, Table Puppet Room and Body Puppet Room. What are their stories, how each puppet is moved and how different puppets really are? These are the questions you will find answers to - and of course, you can try them out on your own, too! Alongside theatre puppets we also have mechanical puppets and The Wardrobe of an Actor where you can try on many costumes and wigs... The exhibition also introduces many theatre positions and jobs such as the Artistic Director, Prop Maker, Puppeteer, Stage Hand and Manager, Make-Up Artist, Costume Maker and so on. The building also has a small cafe.

I loved the puppet museum, and stepping off the streets of Tallinn paved with tourists and cheap tourist shops. Finally a gorgeous display reflecting an aspect of Estonian culture. There were many intricate and fascinating puppets made with a variety of techniques, as well as interactive displays showing how the scenery and special effects were created. You could spend 45 minutes explaining the museum. There was also an adjoining puppet theatre (though we didn’t have time to visit.). The museum is very easy to locate - not far from where the cruise ships dock. It is for the young at heart as well as the young. If I was visiting Tallinn again I would check out the times of the puppet performances as this would be very high on my list of places to visit.

Estonian Drama Theatre

The Dramastuudio Teater was founded in 1924 by the first graduating class of Estonia’s first theatre school. In 1937 it was renamed the Estonian Drama Theatre. Ever since the beginning, the theatre been housed in the attractive, art deco style German theatre building located in the centre of Tallinn, which is the oldest extant theatre building in Estonia (built in 1910). Although the name does not indicate that it is the national theatre, the Drama Theatre has served in this capacity for many long years. The theatre has always specialized in productions of classic plays from world literature and contemporary drama from different countries.
