About event
ART BRANCH offers a unique opportunity to immerse yourself in the backstage life of one of the oldest theaters in Russia — the Alexandrinsky Theater in St. Petersburg. On the New Stage of the theater, cultural scientist of the educational project bigcity.art Daria Borisova will tell you about the rich history of the theater and its architectural features.
You will learn about the theatrical traditions of the past and who had a greater influence on the interior of the auditorium — the architect or the emperor. You will be told about the rules for attending performances in past centuries and the role of the director of the imperial theaters. Interesting fact: anyone can now walk up the same stairs that the actors used to climb to the director's office of the Alexandrinsky Theatre.
After breakfast and the lecture, you will be taken on a tour of the "Brilliant Alexandrinsky Theatre". You will walk along the Carriage Gallery, where magnificent carriages once stopped, learn about the personal box of Nicholas I and look into the auditorium, which will reveal its secrets to you. This is an ideal way to get acquainted with the history of the theatre and feel the atmosphere of His Majesty.
