In the National Opera of Ukraine
Tetiana Andreieva joined the National Opera of Ukraine in 1988. In 2006, she was honored with the title of Merited Artist of Ukraine.

She has collaborated with prominent choreographers such as Lorca Massine, Alla Rubina, David Avdysh, Anatoly Shekera, Georgy Kovtun, Heinrich Mayorov, and Robert Klavin. Throughout her dance career, she has created over 60 roles in classical and character repertoire.

In 2016, Tetiana Andreieva became the co-founder of Contemporary Theatre, which produced and staged the play "Chasing Two Hares" on the stage of the National Opera of Ukraine.

Activities Outside the National Opera of Ukraine
From 1989 to 1991, she danced on the stage of the Jewish Theater of Kyiv Mazel Tov, performing miniatures by Alla Rubina such as "Girl from the Ghetto", "Fiddler on the Roof", "Cousin", "Lovers", and the oratorio-ballet "Frescoes of Kyiv".

She was the first performer of many modern ballets, including "Katerina Bilokur 2015" (Katerina ) and " 2019" by Lessia Dytchko.

Since 2014, Tetiana Andreieva has been a professor and mentor at the Choreographic College of Kiev, working with performances of "La Bayadère", "The Sleeping Beauty", "Don Quixote", "Lilaia", "The Forest Song", and "Spartacus". Since 2017, she has been a mentor for the play "Chasing Two Hares".

In November 2022, she conducted a classical dance masterclass in Cherbourg-en-Cotentin on the romantic ballet "Giselle".

Chasing Two Hares
"Chasing Two Hares" is a two-act ballet by Yuri Chevchenko, with the original idea and libretto by Tetiana Andreieva, based on the play by Mykhailo Starytsky. The ballet premiered at the National Opera of Ukraine on June 29, 2017, marking the end of the 149th theatrical season. In 2018, "Chasing Two Hares" won the Pectoral of Kyiv. The entire creative team was nominated for the Shevchenko National Prize in 2019.

According to Tetiana Andreieva, the inspiration for creating the ballet came from her long-standing fascination with the ancient architecture of Kyiv from the late 19th and early 20th centuries. She wanted to show the audience the beauty of their city and its everyday history. The ballet is a rarely seen humorous performance in the theater repertoire, which sparked interest from both the team and the community. The audience was captivated from start to finish and applauded the performance.
