The Russian Drama Theater (Izhevsk), whose history began in the first half of the 20th century, today has performances based on classical works and modern plays in its repertoire. There are also performances for young viewers.

History

Russian Drama Theater (Izhevsk) was opened in 1935. The first performance was based on the play "Aristocrats". The premiere was met with thunderous applause. The audience was delighted with the production, scenery and acting. The theater in the city was opened by order of the Council of People's Commissars of the UASSR. The troupe was assembled from stage masters from provincial cities, from artists from Moscow theaters and from young people who had just graduated from college. In 1941, the theater building burned down. They did not have time to start its restoration, since the war began that year. The Izhevsk drama troupe was left without premises, without scenery, without costumes. It was impossible to play performances, but even without creativity, the artists could not. In a short time they prepared concerts and performed with them in front of the wounded defenders of the Motherland and in front of those who forged the Victory in the rear. ATAt the same time, they began preparing new performances: The Battalion Goes West, Twelfth Night, Cyrano de Bergerac, Invasion and The Invisible Lady. In 1946, the Russian Drama Theater (Izhevsk) celebrated a housewarming party. A new building with a hall designed for 760 spectators was built for it. In 1961, the Izhevsk drama was named after the writer V. Korolenko. In 2011, the theater moved to a new building that previously belonged to the Izhmash Palace of Culture.
