The Theater of Europe, also known as the St. Petersburg Academic Maly Drama Theater, invites you to the play "The Cherry Orchard" directed by Lev Dodin.

This interpretation of Chekhov's classic play is distinguished by its extreme down-to-earthness and realism, excluding any hope of a happy ending. The director deliberately got rid of all plot elements that allowed for a different outcome, emphasizing the inevitability of a tragic denouement. The entire performance is filled with tension and anticipation of a storm, but the storm itself never arrives, giving way to individual emotional outbursts from the characters. Tickets to "The Cherry Orchard" at the Maly Drama Theater will allow you to experience A.P. Chekhov's familiar plot from a slightly different perspective. Don't miss it!

The production first premiered in 2014 and, over the years, has become a modern theater classic. Despite minor deviations from the original text and the inclusion of the author's own decisions, each scene feels natural and well-founded, as if Anton Pavlovich Chekhov himself could have written it.

The production is also honored by its stellar cast, including Elizaveta Boyarskaya and Ksenia Rappoport. The performance's slightly gloomy, minimalist sets, which emphasize the depth and sincerity of the work, complete the impression of the performance.
