Moscow Art Theatre is introducing IN TRANSLATION, a new program for English-speaking theatregoers. In November we will start presenting selected productions with English titles, gradually expanding the repertoire available for our patrons who don't speak Russian. Our inaugural performance of The Master and Margarita on Main Stage is scheduled for Saturday, November 8. We expect the testing period for IN TRANSLATION program to be fairly short. Performances with English titles will soon be denoted in our printed and electronic media. Please follow us to learn more about the availability of captioned performances.

116 years ago, on 14 (26) October 1898, Moscow Public Art Theatre has opened its inaugural season with the production of Tsar Fyodor Ioannovich by Alexey Tolstoy presented at the Hermitage Theatre  in Karetny Lane. Commemorating the event will be a special ceremony on October 30 at the Portrait Lobby.  Moscow Art Theatre veteran employees celebrating anniversaries of their service to the company and its audience will be decorated with honorary Seagull signs.

It is two years today since we lost Marina Golub. Pain from a terrible, tragic loss of a great actress, adored by many, does not subside, and probably never will. She is being constantly remembered at the Moscow Art – with her charm, warmth, and her exquisite sense of humor. She was the soul of our company… Paying tribute to her, today we are publishing for the first time a unique video footage of the finale of Vassa Zheleznova by Maxim Gorky, a 2010 production by Leo Erenburg, where Marina is depicting a bit-by-bit gradual death of Vassa with striking actuality. Vassa was one of our best productions in recent years, and it is gone, along with Marina.

On September 30, 2014, International Stanislavsky Foundation has announced the recipients of 2014 Stanislavsky Award in several nominations.

Damir Ismagilov, our Head Lighting Designer, was awarded the Stage Design Award for “his contribution to the artistic stage design and the art of lighting design.” 

Konstantin Khabensky Charitable Foundation and MTS were awarded Special Award for producing Generation M, children and youth creativity development project based on The Jungle Book.

We join in applauding and celebrating our friends and colleagues for their outstanding achievements.
