The city's municipality said earlier that the theatre, which housed "hundreds of civilians," was severely damaged by the bombing.
"The (Russian) plane dropped a bomb on the building where there were hundreds of civilians. It is impossible to announce an account at the moment because the shelling of residential areas is continuing," the city council said in a Telegram post.
The municipality also released a photo of the theatre, the central part of which has been destroyed.
