"Everything flows, everything changes," says the ancientwisdom. The old leaves, in its place a new one appears. All this is true of the fate of the two ancient regional Moscow theaters - the Drama Theater. Ostrovsky and Kamerny, who merged "in creative ecstasy" (though not voluntarily, but on the highest orders of the governor of the Moscow region), formed in 2013 the Moscow Provincial Theater under the strict guidance of Sergei Bezrukov.
The new shrine of Thalia and Melpomenethe building of the Moscow Regional House of Arts, in Kuzminki (Volgogradskaya, 121). It is very convenient to get to the metro station "Kuzminki" - five minutes by leisurely pace, and those wishing to take a walk can go to "Volzhskaya" - it will take about half an hour.
Directly new Moscow Provincial TheaterSergei Bezrukov visitors praise, and there is for that. Outside, the building fits perfectly into the urban landscape, inside - light and spacious. Wide staircases, large windows - designers deserve the highest ratings.
Comfort for viewers was placed at the headangle: almost all reviews mark the comfort of the auditorium. The chairs are at a sufficient distance from each other ("the knees do not rest against the back in front of the seated"), each successive row rises above the previous one in order to ensure that the high growth of the neighbor does not become an obstacle to viewing the performance (however, steep).
The seats are soft enough, and the backs are comfortable.This is important, because some performances last long enough, and spend more than three hours better in a comfortable chair than vice versa. A number of spectators are grateful to the administration for such a gift - especially people inclined to pain in the back.
Pleased with good-humored viewers,visited the Provincial Theater, the balconies in the auditorium: semicircular, located "steps" along the perimeter, they give the room a cozy appearance. The only pity is that the sound on them leaves much to be desired (at least, the 2013 reviews are full of sad remarks).
From simple human pleasurestwo female toilets (the second opens when there is a large influx of visitors). Such an innovation can appreciate only the ladies: long queues in the coveted institution can spoil an arbitrarily fine "cult trip".
In general, with regard to the needs of the human body,Moscow Provincial Theater, whose reviews are more enthusiastic, received the most excellent recommendations. Complaints were made only on the prices in the buffet, where a cup of coffee costs 250 rubles, but for too little parking (with reservations, however, that "this is Moscow ..."). In very hot days in the foyer dushnovato - but in the auditorium is a wonderful regime.
Care for the comfort of spectators was noted notonly by direct "consumers". The press was very impressed by the innovation, which in 2013 was introduced by the Provincial Theater of Sergei Bezrukov: a special translation for blind theatergoers. Now the innovation is available only at one play - "Pushkin", but in the future it is planned to "expand and deepen".
With due attention to the purephysiological needs of its visitors, the Provincial Theater does not forget about the spiritual food - it is wonderful that in this area the assessments of all those who have bothered to leave feedback about their impressions can be described as enthusiastic.
The play of actors is defined as "magnificent"music - "wonderful", scenery - "luxurious". The atmosphere of the theater as a whole is called both "magic" and "sincere", many reviews contain praise for the staff: they are sympathetic, smiling, always ready to help.
The repertoire of the provincial theater offers a veryvarious: in the afternoon both scenes turn into a convent of fairy tales, and the halls are given to the children who are attached to art: many performances are intended for small spectators (the recommended age is mainly from 6 years). There are also some that you can come up with with a "wise life" teenager ("Cyrano de Bergerac").
Noteworthy viewers and the design of the lobby,corresponding to the theme of each performance. Especially this wonderful idea makes children happy: small theater-goers are infinitely happy to be photographed with the "banderlog" (if there is a performance about Mowgli in front) or participate in pirate fun (when "Treasure Island" is to be).
With fiction, the theater team also approaches the meeting of spectators who came to the evening, "adult" performances.
The repertoire of the theater is good and varied, the actingcomposition of quality, burning creative endeavors. Relatively recently, Sergey Bezrukov tried himself in a new role for the theatrical director (reviews testify that it was successful). The success of the production gave birth to a desire to share it with the inhabitants of other places: the first large tour of the Provincial Theater in the season of 2014-2015 was held in St. Petersburg, Kazan, and even abroad (in Astana).
If we sum up what has been said, then on the map of the Russianthe capital has a new, very worthy successor to the glorious theatrical traditions - young, fervent, successfully combining classics and innovation, bribing attentive and respectful attitude towards its viewer.
