About event
The excursion "Theatre as an Empire" at the Alexandrinsky Theatre offers a unique opportunity to immerse yourself in the history of Russian theatre, feeling the atmosphere of the imperial era. The Alexandrinsky Theatre, located in the heart of St. Petersburg, is one of the oldest and most significant theatres in Russia. This is a place where history was made, and where outstanding cultural figures such as A. S. Pushkin, M. Yu. Lermontov and F. M. Dostoevsky were frequent guests.
During the excursion, you will learn how the system of imperial theatres functioned, who was at the helm of management, as well as how artists entered the service and where they were trained. Particular attention is paid to the technical innovations used in the stage design and the distribution of seats in the auditorium, where great writers and poets once sat.
The tour includes a visit to the exhibition "Museum of Russian Drama", where you can see portraits, photographs and costumes of actors, as well as hear their voices in an audio recording. You will go to the Directorate of the Imperial Theaters along the same path that the actors once walked, which will allow you to feel like a part of their world.
