Description of the attraction
The Moscow Operetta Theater, or the State Academic Theater "Moscow Operetta", is located on B. Dmitrovka Street, next to Teatralnaya Square. It is adjacent to the famous theaters - Bolshoi and Maly.
The theater was founded in 1927 by Grigory Yaron, a famous director and actor. From the day of its foundation to the present day, the theater occupies a leading place in the genre of operetta not only in Russia, but also in Europe.
The theater building was built in the 19th century and is an architectural monument. The first owners of the building were the Shcherbatov princes. From them, the building on Bolshaya Dmitrovka passed to the merchants Solodovnikovs. With their participation and with the help of artists at the beginning of the twentieth century, a theater and concert hall was equipped in the building. It has become one of the best halls in Moscow.
Today the theater stage is a perfect combination of classic hall decor and modern sound and lighting equipment. The cozy burgundy velvet hall is richly decorated with gilding, and the ceiling plafond is decorated with beautiful paintings by Konstantin Korovin. The hall, unique in style, has a capacity of 1600 seats.
Thanks to its excellent troupe, the theater today retains its status as the leading theater in its genre. The theater's repertoire includes classical operetta (Strauss, Offenbach, Lehar, Bernstein, Kalman), musicals and shows, as well as modern operetta. During the "season" the theater hosts about three hundred performances.
During its existence, "Moscow Operetta" has created and released about 250 new performances. The theater's performances arouse great interest among critics and are extremely popular with spectators. The creators of the performances work on a modern interpretation of classical operettas, participate in the development of Russian operetta, and work on works of the Soviet period.
Well-known directors and actors from European countries worked in the theater at different times. Among them are Jozsef Svoboda, Valery Leventhal, Mstislav Rostropovich, Nikolai Erdman. Actors such as Tatiana Shmyga, Lilia Amarfiy, Vladimir Volodin, Tatiana Sanina, Vyacheslav Bogachev, Vladimir Shishkin, Sergei Alimpiev played on the stage of the theater.
The creative team of "Moscow Operetta" continues the best traditions of classical operetta and works on the development of the musical genre, reflecting the present.
