The Russian Drama Theater (Izhevsk), whose history began in the first half of the 20th century, today has repertoire of performances based on classical works and modern plays. There are performances for young viewers.
History
The Russian Drama Theater (Izhevsk) was opened in 1935. The first performance was staged on the play "Aristocrats". The premiere was met with thunderous applause. The audience was delighted with the production, the scenery and the actors' play. The theater in the city was opened by order of the Council of People's Commissars of the Ukrainian Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic. The troupe was assembled from stage masters of provincial cities, from artists of Moscow theaters and from young people who had just graduated from college. In 1941, the theater building burned down. They didn’t have time to start its restoration, as the war began this year. The Izhevsk drama troupe was left without premises, without scenery, without costumes. It was impossible to play performances, but artists could not even without creativity. In a short time they prepared concerts and performed with them before the wounded defenders of the Motherland and before those who forged Victory in the rear. At the same time, they began preparing new performances: “The battalion goes to the 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 for 760 spectators was built for him. In 1961, the Izhevsk Drama was named after the writer V. Korolenko. In 2011, the theater moved to a new building, which previously belonged to the Izhmash Palace of Culture.
