Theatres and the city
Moscow has a prominent theatrical tradition, from opera and ballet to dramatic and experimental performances. Its cultural history includes the Bolshoi Theatre, the Moscow Art Theatre and many other companies.
Stage heritage
The work of Konstantin Stanislavsky and Vladimir Nemirovich-Danchenko helped shape modern approaches to acting and direction. Archival programmes, photographs and costume designs preserve information about productions that are no longer performed.
