History
Lermontov Theater (Almaty) opened in 1933. His first director was Yu.L. Rutkovsky. This man and his associates had to overcome many difficulties in order to create a theater. But Yuri Ludwigovich was an enthusiast, like the first actors of the Almaty drama.
At the beginning of its career, the theater released seven to eight premiere productions per year. The repertoire included Russian classics and, of course, the eternal plays of Zh.B. Moliere, F. Schiller, W. Shakespeare, C. Goldoni. From the first days of its existence, the theater tried to choose such plays for productions that were interesting to the actors, directors, and the public.
The name of Mikhail Yuryevich Lermontov was given to the Almaty drama in 1964, in the year of the 150th anniversary of the writer. In 1974, the theater received the title of Academic. The nineties were very difficult for the Almaty drama. The country did not become, and the old ideology collapsed. It was necessary to change the repertoire. But the theater managed to survive. In choosing plays for the repertoire, he relied mainly on time-tested classics, which have always been and remain relevant. At that time, the stage was staged: "Talents and fans", "Dog Heart", "Notre Dame Cathedral", "Memorial Prayer", "Three Sisters", "Hamlet".
For those who visit the Almaty theater for the first time, the question arises of what address it has. Lermontov Theater (Almaty) is located on Abay Avenue, house number 43.

Dress code
Lermontov Theater (Almaty) gives its viewers recommendations on how the appearance should be when visiting it. Previously, it was customary to attend performances exclusively in evening toilets. Today, there is no such strict dress code. Nevertheless, you need to try to look accordingly. For example, shorts should not be worn in the theater, since such clothes are completely inconsistent with the case, and as such they will not be allowed into the auditorium. Better to choose a different outfit. Moreover, in our time there are theater-goers who come to watch performances in evening toilets. Against this background, the spectator in shorts will look like an adherent of bad taste.
