More and more people are again interested in different kinds of art. Of course, one of the most popular intellectual entertainments is classical drama. The article will describe the history, features and repertoire of the Chamber Theater (Ekaterinburg).

Method of popularization

A unique arena for performances arose on the foundation of the united museum of writers of the Urals. This is one of the largest literary organizations in Russia. The main purpose of this union is to popularize the book among the youth. In 1986, the association's leadership had an idea to create a branch on the museum's base, which would promote the work of domestic and foreign writers. Therefore, it was decided to build a chamber theater.

The very word chamber from English translates as "a small room". The scene was immediately designed for a small number of the audience. The purpose of this institution was to create conditions for performances that were once staged in aristocratic houses.

In the late 1980's already had enough playgrounds for the acting game of Yekaterinburg. The Chamber Theater, founded by the museum, did not immediately receive a "green light" from the city authorities. For a long time writers of the Urals had to defend their project and prove to officials that such a branch is necessary.

The right to exist

However, the efforts were not in vain. The construction of this facility lasted a long 12 years. And only in 1998, on December 1, the long-awaited premiere took place. The opening was timed to coincide with the 275th anniversary of the founding of the city of Yekaterinburg. The first performance that was played on this stage was the "Stone Flower" - the work of the famous writer of this region Pavel Bazhov. It should be noted that this production is shown today. The show was aimed at children and is a kind of visiting card of the branch.

It is very easy for the guests of the city to find the Chamber Theater (Yekaterinburg). Feedback on the location is also positive. Near the metro station "Dynamo". There is parking. However, visitors complain, there are very few places, so if you want to leave the car in the parking lot, you need to arrive earlier.

Many visitors praise the staff. The workers are very attentive and kind. In the lobby plays a small orchestra, which perfectly adjusts the guests to the right atmosphere. You can have a snack in a cozy, though small, buffet.

Home spirit

Many visitors say that this is one of the best intellectual entertainment that the city of Yekaterinburg can offer. The Chamber Theater is rather small, therefore, the audience is divided, all the events that occur on the stage - as in the palm of your hand. Replicas of artists can be heard from anywhere. Some people say that due to the fact that the room is small, each guest feels part of the performance. In this room is very cozy and nice. Guests believe that you can go here as a romantic date, and in the company of friends or family.

Usually a permanent audience gathers here. Often in the hall you can meet guests of the city of Yekaterinburg. The Chamber Theater, some local people say, is a shelter for teachers and retirees. Supporters of modern art complain that people who like unusual interpretations of well-known stories, there is nothing to do.

Additional information for parents

Another advantage of this theater is interesting and bright New Year's performances. In the winter, the directors put Cinderella. Parents say that for several hours both children and adults got into a fairy tale. They decorated not only the stage, but also the foyer.

Approach to viewers

Children's productions are so wonderful that every year more and more children want to get into this complex. In addition, parents say that the performances bear not only entertainment but also information function.

Not very expensive tickets to the Chamber Theater. Ekaterinburg is also known for other scenes, accordingly, the competition between the halls is great. However, this branch has one significant advantage over the others. He cares about his viewers - the guests state. For example, if for special reasons the performance is postponed, then on the evening when the show was due, the administration conducts other entertainments. There are literary evenings and cognitive encounters with writers. It should be noted - completely free.

Temporary composition

One of the main disadvantages that guests notice is that the Chamber Theater does not have a permanent troupe. Ekaterinburg is famous for its many famous actors. It should be pointed out that some of the stars of our time could be seen on this scene. In particular, Viktor Loginov (known for the TV series "Happy Together"), Irina Ermolova (role in the film "The White Nights of the Postman Alexei Tryapitsyn") and Yury Alekseev, Honored Artist of Russia, played here.

It is clear that when buying a ticket, you can get to the play, where the best actors of our time will perform, the talent of which was acknowledged by the higher authorities. However, on the other hand, it is very difficult to constantly monitor the composition of the troupe. Therefore, complain visitors, often have to "endure" the game of little-known litsedeyev.
