The Gorky Moscow Art Theater was founded by legendary figures. At its origins were K. S. Stanislavsky and V. I. Nemirovich-Danchenko. This is one of the most famous and best theaters in Russia.

History of the theater

The Gorky Moscow Art Theater, the photo of the building of which is presented in this article, was founded in 1898. K. S. Stanislavsky and V. I. Nemirovich-Danchenko decided to create their own theater, the program of which would be based on innovative principles. They cared for a new style of acting, for the absence of false pathos, melody and recitation, for a new system in performances, for expanding and enriching the repertoire, for the authenticity of recreating the surroundings. The new theater was headed by V. I. Nemirovich-Danchenko (who took over as Managing Director) and K. S. Stanislavsky, who became the chief director. The troupe was assembled from students of Vladimir Ivanovich and amateur actors who participated in the productions of Konstantin Sergeevich.

The first performance of the theater took place in October 1898. It was the tragedy "Tsar Fyodor Ioannovich" by A. Tolstoy. In the same year, the premiere of "The Seagull" by A. P. Chekhov took place. The theater of K. S. Stanislavsky and V. I. Nemirovich-Danchenko was fresh, original, and many praised him, but not a lotThere were those who scolded him. For the first 4 years of its existence, the troupe did not have its own building. The performances were played in the rented premises of the Hermitage Theatre. Its hall accommodated 815 spectators. The Moscow Art Theater was not a state theater at that time and did not receive subsidies from the state, depending on how much it earned with its productions, plus from the funds of patrons, the main of which was the famous Savva Morozov, who later took over all financial affairs.

In the 20s of the 20th century, the theater was named the Moscow Art Theater and was elevated to the rank of a state academic theater. This period was not easy, because while working on one of the performances of K. S. Stanislavsky and V. I. Nemirovich-Danchenko, due to disagreements, decided to abandon joint work on productions, as it was before. As a result, Konstantin Sergeevich himself removed himself from work on new productions and took up only managing the activities of young directors. The conflict ended with the fact that in 1934 Konstantin Sergeevich left the Moscow Art Theater. The famous actor and director Oleg Efremov headed the Moscow Art Theater at the end of the 20th century. Under him, the troupe became very large, and many artists lacked roles. This led to conflict. The theater split into two troupes. Some of the artists left with O. Efremov and received the name of the Moscow Art Theater named after A. P. Chekhov. And other artists joined the troupe of Tatyana Doronina and remained at the Gorky Moscow Art Theater. To this day, these two theaters exist separately.

Today, in its repertoire, it has performances for both adults and children of the Gorky Moscow Art Theater. Actors here serve only the mostbright and talented. Among them are a large number of holders of the honorary titles of Honored and People's Artist of Russia.”
