The renowned Austrian architectural firm Coop Himmelb(l)au is planning to build an opera house complex in Sevastopol, the main port of Crimea, the Black Sea peninsula that was illegally annexed by the Kremlin in March 2014. That act placed Russia under strict sanctions by the EU and US that remain in place to this day.
The head of Coop Himmelb(l)au, Wolf D. Prix, designed the headquarters of the European Central Bank in Frankfurt. The Sevastopol project was reportedly commissioned by a foundation set up by Vladimir Putin, who is believed to want a cultural ensemble that will act as a monument to himself and his seizure of Crimea nearly seven years ago. According to reports, the project will include a state-of-the-art museum and art gallery.
