Stanislavsky State Russian Drama Theatre

About

The State Russian Drama Theatre named after Konstantin Stanislavsky opened in 1937 and took the name of the great Russian director in 1938. Its founder and first artistic director was Levon Kalantar. The theatre is at 7 Abovyan Street in the Kentron district, next to Charles Aznavour Square, on the site of a Russian church that was demolished to make way for it. Its repertoire is performed in Russian and centers on Russian classics, with Armenian classics staged in Russian as well. The legendary actor Armen Jigarkhanyan began his career on this stage. The auditorium seats about 500.
What you can do there: watch Russian-language productions of classic and contemporary plays, bring children to the weekend family performances, and combine a visit with a walk along Abovyan Street. Tickets at the box office or through local ticketing platforms such as tomsarkgh.am
