A bit of history

The prototype of the Yubileiny concert hall in Yalta was the summer stage that existed earlier on this site, which appeared in the city garden immediately after its laying (1880). In the warm season, strings and brass bands played here in the afternoon, and prominent soloists, including the brothers Vincenzo and Federico Palladino, performed in the evening.
In 1914, beauty Yalta turned from a resort city into a hospital city. On this site, the public meeting of Yalta held concerts for wounded soldiers who arrived from the fronts. The stage on this place was until the seventies of the last century. Throughout its history, it has experienced several overhauls that were carried out to increase its comfort.
In the early seventies, the Yalta architects D. S. Sergeev, V. S. Sergeev and P. A. Starikov created a project, according to which a new hall was built. Its construction allowed the Crimean Dawns festivals to be held in Yalta, which later became traditional.
