The image displays the upper facade of the National Academic Grand Opera and Ballet Theatre of Belarus, located in Minsk, Belarus. Under a clear blue sky, a dark bronze sculptural group of three figures is mounted on the building's roofline. A central standing male figure, possibly Apollo, extends his left arm holding a wreath-like object and an indeterminate object in his right hand. To his left, a female figure is positioned in a semi-reclined stance, holding two pipe-like musical instruments angled upwards. To his right, a second female figure stands, holding a torch or staff-like object vertically in her raised right hand. The building is constructed of light-colored stone, featuring prominent vertical pilasters and a tiered upper facade. Below the statuary, the inscription "НАЦЫЯНАЛЬНЫ АКАДЭМІЧНЫ ВЯЛІКІ ТЭАТР ОПЕРЫ І БАЛЕТА" is visible in dark letters. The scene is illuminated by direct sunlight, casting distinct shadows.
