Tickets Tyumen Drama Theater. Tyumen Bolshoi Drama Theater

The creation of the theater in Tyumen (1858) became a very high-profile and important event in the region. On February 8, 1858, in the information newspaper “Tobolsk Provincial Gazette” - “Local News” they wrote: “...There is a noble performance in Tyumen! How is this so? Until now, we knew Tyumen as a trading city, known for its wide hospitality, where cards were considered the most convenient entertainment... Where did the characters for the Tyumen Noble Theater come from? There is no nobility there, as in all of Siberia, there are very few district officials, perhaps from the merchant class?.. Such participation of the Tyumen merchants in a noble theater for the first time should please everyone who cherishes every step forward in our public life...”

Since the early 90s of the 19th century, the trustee of the theater was the merchant A.I. Tekutyev, and throughout its history the temple of art has repeatedly changed its name. Since 1919 it began to be called the Theater named after. Lenin, from 1924 - Chamber. It was assumed that the Chamber Theater would cultivate all genres of performing arts. Since May 1924, a troupe has been working in Tyumen under the direction of Saburov-Dolinin, who was simultaneously an actor, director and theater director. The 1926 season deserves special attention in the history of the theater of that time - then the strongest acting troupe performed during the entire existence of the Chamber Theater. At this time, Samarov, Dymokovskaya, Reut, Vinogradova, Dmitriev, Chernorudny (actors of the Leningrad Academic Theater - former Alexandrinsky) worked in Tyumen; the main female roles were played by Galina, an artist of the former Nezlobinsky Theater from Moscow, and comedian Novikov from the Comedy Theater. in Passage. Historical dramas, works of Russian classics, revolutionary productions, musical performances were staged; foreign classics were represented to a lesser extent. In 1922-1932, 11 troupes changed. At the same time, in the creative activity of the theater, imitation of the Theater is clearly visible. Sun. Meyerhold. In 1935 a new building was opened, the theater was named in honor of the 17th anniversary of the Red Army. In 1938 a stable troupe was created. With the formation of the Tyumen region in August 1944, it received regional status.

In the 40-50s the theater had a strong cast. From 1946 to 1948 E.S. worked in the theater. Matveev. From 1955 to 1958 the troupe included P.S. Velyaminov.

From 1947 to 1951 the main directors were D.S. Barkhatov, K.A. Zelenevsky, G.Ya. Nazarkovsky. The theater was faithful to tradition - the basis of the repertoire was the classics. But even here the inertia of compliance with certain canons has remained.

In 1959, at the creative meeting “Theater and Modernity,” the question of freeing the theater from copying the capital’s theaters was seriously raised for the first time.

In 1962, E.A. became the main director. Plavinsky, a year later A.K. was appointed director. Kalugina. They worked together for more than 20 years. In November 1963, the first Komi-Nenets comedy “Flowers in the Snow” by I. Istomin (directed by E. Conde) was staged here. Reviews of that time noted the excellent work of the Honored Artist of the RSFSR Georgy Dyakonov-Dyachenkov (he later received the title “People’s Artist of the RSFSR”).

In 1985-1990, the main director was Alexander Tsodikov. Since 1987, the director has been Vladimir Korevitsky, since 1994 the chief director has been Alexey Larichev.

In 1996, the Tyumen State Theater of Drama and Comedy, together with the Tyumen State Institute of Arts and Culture, launched an acting course. In 2001, 10 graduates of this course joined the theater troupe and today it consists of 36 people. The theater employs Honored Artist of Russia Gennady Bashirov, Honored Artist of Russia Anatoly Buzinsky, Honored Artist of Russia Anta Kolinichenko, Honored Artist of the Republic of Georgia Vladimir Obrezkov, Honored Artist of Russia Vladimir Orel, Honored Artist of Russia Veniamin Panov, Honored Artist of Russia Tatyana Pestova, Honored Cultural Worker of Russia Vilnis Pintis, Honored Artist of the Komi Republic Elena Samokhina.

Since 1998, the work of the Small Stage of the theater has resumed, the repertoire of which includes psychological, comedic, and melodramatic performances.

Since January 2005, the Tyumen Theater changed its organizational and legal form and became the Autonomous non-profit cultural organization "Tyumen Drama Theater" (General Director of the theater - Vladimir Zdzislavovich Korevitsky, artistic director of the theater - Alexey Larichev, chief artist - Alexey Panenkov, choreographer - Eduard Sobol).

Since March 2008, the status of the Tyumen Drama Theater has changed again - now it is a State Autonomous Cultural Institution. In the same year, 2008, Alexander Tsodikov became the main director of the theater, and the theater moved to a new building, donated to the temple of art by the Government of the Tyumen region.

Over the past few years, the Tyumen Drama Theater has taken part in festivals in Surgut, Magnitogorsk, Novosibirsk, and went on tour to Yekaterinburg, Petropavlovsk, Petrozavodsk, Pskov, Frunze, Przhivalsk, Samarkand, Navoi, Tashkent, Leningrad, Omsk, where it enjoyed great audience success.

The history of the Tyumen Theater began in the 19th century. The first amateur theater was located in a small mansion built in 1853 by merchant Kondraty Kuzmich Sheshukov for a district school. The building has survived to this day and is located at st. Semakova, 10.

The first performance of the amateur theater took place on December 27, 1857 in the hall of the district school. The production was a stunning success and filled the halls for a whole year. The troupe consisted of teachers, merchants and prominent citizens. The money raised from the performances was used to financially support the girls' gymnasium.

It is known that in 1858 a St. Petersburg guest expressed admiration for the amateur performance. This fact was recorded, and the countdown of the city’s theatrical history began with it.

On February 8, 1858, the information newspaper “Tobolsk Provincial Gazette” - “Local News” wrote: “...There is a noble performance in Tyumen! How is this so? Until now, we knew Tyumen as a trading city, known for its wide hospitality, where cards were considered the most convenient entertainment... Where did the characters for the Tyumen Noble Theater come from? There is no nobility there, as in all of Siberia, there are very few district officials, perhaps from the merchant class?.. Such participation of the Tyumen merchants in a noble theater for the first time should please everyone who cherishes every step forward in our public life...”

Charity performances started by Kondraty Sheshukov made it possible to raise the funds necessary to maintain a girls' school, and soon the amateur theater stopped its performances - there was a lull in the city. But news of the townspeople's interest in noble performances apparently found a response in the hearts of professional actors. Since 1878, various theater troupes began to come to the city on tour. In rented premises suitable for the performance, they entertained the townspeople with their skills for several months in a row. Theatrical life in the city was revived, gradually developed, but was still a rather spontaneous phenomenon, and most importantly, alien.

This continued until 1890, when the merchant decided to take the theatrical business under his wing. He rebuilt one of the buildings he owned on Irkutskaya Street (now Chelyuskintsev) into a theater. And although at that time Tyumen still did not have its own troupe, and guest performers continued to perform on the stage of a private institution, the appearance of this building cemented the stable concept of “Tekutyevsky Theater” in the minds of the townspeople.

Even by modern standards, the building of the stationary theater turned out to be worthy of admiration. In the auditorium, in addition to the stalls, there were boxes in two tiers, an amphitheater, and a gallery. Apartments were provided in the building especially for the theater troupe, and for the convenience of spectators there were spacious lobbies and buffets. In 1909, after restoration, the stage and foyer were expanded. The auditorium instead of 500 now accommodates 1,200 seats.

The merchant spent exclusively his own funds on both the construction of the theater palace and its subsequent maintenance.

Andrey Tekutyev maintained the theater for 26 years. In 1916, before his death, he bequeathed his building on Irkutsk to the city, with the condition that it would be used “exclusively for a theater.” The city government accepted this gift, and newspaper announcements began to announce performances not at the Tekutyev Theater, but at the Tekutyev City Theater.

Since 1919 it has been called the Theater named after. Lenin. There is no permanent troupe yet. At the end of the season, the performing troupe disbanded and a new one was recruited for the upcoming season. As a rule, actors did not have special education. In 1920, a performing arts studio began operating at the theater. In the fall of 1922, there was a fire in the theater, and only charred ruins remained of the building. Neither the scenery nor the equipment could be saved.

Only in 1924, by decision of local authorities, a new theater was organized, which was called Chamber and located in the building of the former Pobeda cinema. The building was small, so the theater quickly managed to update the furniture and decorations. It was assumed that the Chamber Theater would cultivate all genres of performing arts. The troupe worked under the direction of Saburov-Dolinin, who was simultaneously an actor, director and theater director. Over the 10 years of the Chamber Theater’s existence, 11 troupes have changed there. Management changed almost every year. In the city council, on the pages of the local press, the question of constructing a new winter theater building and increasing the funds allocated for its needs was regularly raised.

However, there were no funds for the construction of a new building. It was decided to use the building of the former salt merchant warehouses on Herzen Street, which also needed reconstruction. Only at the beginning of 1935 was the new theater building finally opened. It changed its name, becoming from this year the Tyumen State Drama Theater named after the 17th anniversary of the Workers 'and Peasants' Red Army.

In 1938, the first stable troupe was created. In 1939, the practice of “stationing” Soviet theaters began. Now they have begun to hire actors and directors for permanent work on staff.

In 1944, the Tyumen Drama Theater received regional status. The troupe consisted of 32 people, of which only 15 were born in the 20th century, and only four were under 30 years old. His repertoire even then included diverse and multi-genre productions. Plays based on the works of Russian and foreign classics, musical performances, historical dramas and revolutionary productions were performed on stage.

In 2008, the theater moved to a new building, at 129 Respubliki Street, donated to the temple of art by the Government of the Tyumen Region. The theater area is 36,000 square meters. It has five floors, a beautiful facade decorated with columns. The theater has two auditoriums, with 800 and 200 seats.

Where is the largest drama theater in Russia? Few people know that it is located in Tyumen - this is the Tyumen Drama Theater. Its history began long before the construction of the main building that exists now.

Tyumen Drama Theater: first production

The Tobolsk Provincial Gazette once reported that a grandiose performance had taken place in Tyumen. This took place on February 8, 1858. Everyone was perplexed: where did the theater come from in this city? After all, Tyumen has always been considered a trading city, where only merchants live, but no officials or nobility. Who took part in the production - were they merchants?

Indeed, there were no professional actors and troupes in Tyumen at that time; the performers were ordinary townspeople under the direction of the merchant Sheshukov Kondraty.

The first performance created a real sensation, the audience demanded more sessions. The actors had to perform the same production for a whole year, but the hall was always crowded. People came again and again, each time watching the actors play as if for the first time.

Theater names

Over the century and a half of its existence, the Tyumen Drama Theater was renamed several times. So in 1919 it became the Lenin Theater - a completely expected name.

In 1924 it was renamed chamber. The repertoire of this theater became diverse, it included all genres of acting and stage art.

In 1924, actor and director Saburov-Dolinin took over as director of the theater. Under his leadership, a troupe began to work, which in two years became the strongest in the entire history of the chamber theater. During these years, famous metropolitan actors played in the Tyumen Theater, various plays, fairy tales, dramas, musical performances and revolutionary miniatures were staged.

From 1922 to 1935, eleven cast members were changed. At the same time, it was noted that the work of the theater is a parody of famous theaters, an imitation of them.

In 1935, the second building was opened. The institution was named "Theater of the Seventeenth Anniversary of the Red Army." Three years later, a permanent professional troupe of actors was created here.

Tyumen Drama Theater: poster during the war

At the height of the Great Patriotic War, it was regional, on its stage actors showed revolutionary and military performances, and children's fairy tales. This was a real salvation for soldiers and ordinary residents of Tyumen. After all, during a war, people need to be distracted, remember that the war will end, and forget about it for a while. The Tyumen Drama Theater helped them in this; its poster invited spectators to watch the next performance.

Old building

November 1963 is a memorable date for the theater. It was this year that the Komi-Nenets comedy was staged for the first time. It was called "Flowers in the Snow".

In 1998, this theater, together with the Tyumen Institute of Culture, recruited students to study acting. Five years later, the first graduation of ten people took place. These actors still work in the Tyumen Theater today.

Moving to another building

In 1998, the Tyumen Drama Theater resumed the work of its small hall, which had been closed for a long time. A variety of performances began to be shown on its stage: comedies, dramas, psychological and musical performances.

In 2005, the theater changed its status - it became a non-profit cultural organization. In March 2008, the name changed again, now it is listed as the State Autonomous Cultural Institution.

In the same year, the regional government donated a new building to the theater; everyone was incredibly happy about this move, but still a little sad. After all, the old building on Herzen Street has preserved quite a rich history.
