The Abai Kazakh National Opera and Ballet Theatre (Kazakh: Абай атындағы Қазақ ұлттық опера және балет театры; Russian: Казахский национальный театр оперы и балета имени Абая) is an opera house located in Almaty, Kazakhstan.

Over the decades, the theater has played a pivotal role in the development of national opera and ballet, showcasing significant works by renowned composers and choreographers from Kazakhstan, Russia, and Europe.

The theater continued to expand its repertoire, staging both Western and Kazakh works, including the opera Abai, with music by Akhmed Zhubanov and Latif Khamidi.

Bas-relief ornamental frames forming a lancet arch adorn the pylons, featuring quotations on art from the works of Vladimir Lenin.

The frieze is decorated with alternating patterns and multifigure reliefs representing art figures of Kazakhstan.

The second-floor loggia railings, frieze panels, architrave and cornice bands, as well as the capitals and bases of pilasters and columns, contribute to the intricate design.
