Alexandrinsky Theatre in St. Petersburg

A unique old theater is located on Nevsky Prospekt. And its special feature is that children are not allowed inside this temple of art. The organizers are especially against organized school trips to the theater. Only children who have already turned 12 can enter the theater, and even then they are accompanied by their parents.
The theater was named by Nicholas 1 in honor of his wife Alexandra Feodorovna. She was a true theater-goer and an art lover of those times.
Today, the theater building is an architectural monument and is also under UNESCO protection.
This building is unique in its construction. It is built on a floating foundation, which is constructed of 5 oak piles. This is a completely Venetian building, and before this building, such structures were afraid to be built in Russia.
Since 1832, this temple of art was named Alexandrinsky, but today it has a completely new legal name – the Pushkin State Academic Drama Theater. But residents of St. Petersburg refer to it by its old familiar name.
For many years, great people who are known not only in our country, but also far beyond its borders have been working within the walls of the theater:
• L. Vivien;
• Georgy Tovstonogov;
• V. Meyerhold;
• Grigory Kozintsev;
• N. Akimov;
Today, Valery Fokin manages the activities of the theater. He is an honorary laureate of many state awards and prizes, and is also recognized as a national artist of his country.
The repertoire of the Alexandrinsky Theater includes more than two hundred interesting productions. Among them are: "The Seagull" and "Uncle Vanya" by Chekhov, "Marriage" by Gogol. Classical ballets such as Swan Lake are staged on the stage of this theater, but the Alexandrinsky Theater is famous not only for its serious repertoire. Interesting productions such as "The Dream of a Funny Man" or the popular production "Flowers for Charlie" took place here.
Every year, an annual theater festival called Alexandrinsky takes place within its walls. The festival is held internationally.
In 2013, a significant event happened in the life of the band: a new stage was opened. It is more correct to call it the creative laboratory of theater-goers. It is equipped with the latest novelties of equipment, which helps to create a fantastic performance from the productions. Every novelty and premiere causes a stir among connoisseurs.
