Description of the attraction
Since childhood, we have dreamed of a miracle. We all hear the puppets of Pope Carlo, therefore, the theater appears before us as a magical and mysterious creation. One of them is the Karambol Theater, which is located in St. Petersburg. The center of cultural life of the northern capital is famous for its multifaceted and vibrant projects. The history of the creation of the beloved cultural institution goes parallel to the era of perestroika. The date of the official opening is considered to be 1989. After 17 years, the theater became a state institution.
The Karambol Theater is a whole creative workshop that has embodied all the best trends in theatrical, choreographic and musical art. In addition to the actors, the orchestra is famous for its virtuoso performance. The orchestra is being conducted by D. Nozdrachev. The most difficult steps are within the power of the corps de ballet participants.
The theater also pays great attention to the development of the creative inclinations of the young generation. Children of different ages are engaged in the children's studio at the theater. Beginning actors learn from the luminaries of the stage. Numerous performances have become the fruit of the joint creative activity of two generations. And the audience, from kids to adults, fell in love with the performances of "Karambol" and come here with whole families. Therefore, behind the scenes, the theater is also called "family".
The theater experienced its rebirth together with the talented composer and musicologist Irina Bronde. She picked up the idea of a children's musical that was in the air and brought it to life. The increase in the repertoire could not but affect the attendance and general audience love. The work of the artistic director-director of the theater Irina Bronde was highly appreciated - she was awarded the title of Honored Artist of Russia.
Housewarming became a gift for all members of creative teams. The theater moved to an old building, which is an architectural monument - this is the former palace of culture named after A. Nogina. The sign has changed, but the inspiration that hangs in these art-soaked walls remains.
