More and more people are again interested in different kinds of art. Of course, one of the most popular intellectual entertainment is classical dramaturgy. The article will describe the history, features and repertoire of the Chamber Theater (Yekaterinburg).

Promotion method

A unique arena for performances arose on the foundation of the united museum of writers of the Urals. This is one of the largest literary organizations in Russia. The main goal of this union is to popularize the book among young people. In 1986, the leadership of the association came up with the idea to create a branch on the basis of the museum, which would promote the work of domestic and foreign writers. Therefore, it was decided to build a chamber theater.

The very word chamber is translated from English as "small room". The scene was immediately designed for a small number of people. The purpose of this institution was to create conditions for performances that were once staged in aristocratic homes.

In the late 1980s, Yekaterinburg already had enough venues for acting. The Chamber Theater, the founder of which was the museum, did not immediately receive"green light" from the city authorities. For a long time, the writers of the Urals had to defend their project and prove to officials that such a branch was necessary.

The right to exist

However, the efforts were not in vain. The construction of this facility lasted a long 12 years. And only in 1998, on December 1, the long-awaited premiere took place. The opening was timed to coincide with the 275th anniversary of the founding of the city of Yekaterinburg. The first performance that was played on this stage was "Stone Flower" - the work of the famous writer of this region Pavel Bazhov. It should be noted that this production is shown today. The show was aimed at children and is the signature of the branch.

Immediately received good reviews from residents and guests of the Chamber Theater (Yekaterinburg). Photos confirm that the building was not just comfortable, but homely. The designers and architects of the project made sure that the house was not only comfortable, but also luxurious.

Features of the room

The total number of seats is 157. The form of the hall is an amphitheatre. Therefore, everything that happens on the stage is clearly visible and audible from any seat. There is a comfortable and spacious lobby.

The room itself is located in the city center, in a quiet literary quarter. This is one of the most popular areas. It is very easy for guests of the city to find the Chamber Theater (Yekaterinburg). Feedback on the location is also positive. Nearby is the metro station "Dinamo". There is parking. However, visitors complain, there are very few places, so if you wantleave the car in the parking lot, you need to arrive earlier.

Address of this branch: st. Proletarskaya, 18.

Many visitors praise the staff. The workers are very attentive and kind. A small orchestra plays in the foyer, which perfectly sets the guests in the right atmosphere. You can have a bite to eat in a cozy, albeit small, buffet.

Home spirit

Many visitors claim that this is one of the best intellectual entertainment that the city of Yekaterinburg has to offer. The chamber theater is quite small, therefore, the audience is divided, all the events that take place on the stage are in full view. Replicas of artists can be heard from anywhere. Some people say that due to the fact that the room is small, every guest feels like a part of the performance. This room is very cozy and pleasant. Guests believe that they can go here both on romantic dates, and in the company of friends or family.

The next plus is the classical repertoire. Here the viewer will not see vulgarity and absurdity. Parents say this is a great opportunity to introduce their child to the world of literature.

Usually a permanent audience gathers here. Often in the hall you can meet guests of the city of Yekaterinburg. The chamber theater, according to some locals, is a haven for teachers and pensioners. Supporters of contemporary art complain that people who like unusual interpretations of well-known plots have nothing to do here.

Additional information forparents

Another advantage of this theater is interesting and bright New Year's performances. In winter, the directors staged Cinderella. Parents say that for a few hours both children and adults got into a fairy tale. Decorated not only the stage, but also the foyer. There were lights everywhere, and there was a luxurious Christmas tree.

Besides the performance itself, competitions and riddles were organized for the children. The kids were looking for the crystal slipper of the main character. The holiday was not without Santa Claus.

The poster of the Chamber Theater for December often attracts famous fairy-tale characters. Yekaterinburg has many rooms where New Year's performances are shown, but it is in the branch of this museum that parents buy tickets for their children. Impressions from the show are only positive.

Approach to viewers

Children's productions are so wonderful that every year more and more children want to get into this particular complex. In addition, parents say that performances are not only entertaining, but also informational.

But visitors note that it is better not to buy tickets for the first row. Even adults, not to mention children, have to lift their heads, because the stage is quite high.

Tickets to the Chamber Theater are not very expensive. Yekaterinburg is also known for other stages, so the competition between the halls is great. However, this branch has one significant advantage over others. He cares about his audience - say the guests. For example, if for special reasons the performance is postponed, then on the evening when the show was to take place,the administration conducts other entertainment. There are literary evenings and informative meetings with writers. It should be noted - completely free.

Temporary composition

One of the main disadvantages that guests notice is that the Chamber Theater does not have a permanent troupe. Yekaterinburg is famous for many famous actors. It should be pointed out that some of the stars of our time could be seen on this stage. In particular, Viktor Loginov (known from the TV series “Happy Together”), Irina Ermolova (role in the film “White Nights of the Postman Alexei Tryapitsyn”) and Honored Artist of Russia Yuri Alekseev played here.

It is clear that by buying a ticket, you can get to the performance, where the best actors of our time will perform, whose talent has been recognized by higher authorities. However, on the other hand, it is very difficult to constantly monitor the composition of the troupe. Therefore, visitors complain, one often has to "endure" the play of little-known actors.

Immortal repertoire

There are many arenas for performances in the city of Yekaterinburg. Other guests like the Chamber Theater because here in a spacious room you can enjoy the performance of good artists. Visitors say that every time the management selects actors who perfectly fit into this character and well cover the experiences of their hero.

Very diverse repertoire in this theatre. Usually directors put on performances that have already received good fame. One of the most favorite productions of the audience is "Scarlet Sails". Also less popularuses "Warsaw Melody". Of course, the scene cannot be imagined without such immortal works of the classics as "Pygmalion", "The Cherry Orchard" and "Uncle Vanya". Children's performances "Oh Princess", "Aladdin and the Magic Lamp" are in special demand.

Everyone who visited this theater comes back here again. There is always an exceptionally good atmosphere here, which attracts guests from all over the country.
