Today the Moscow Art Theater celebrates its 125th anniversary.
🎭 The Moscow Art Theater was founded by Konstantin Stanislavsky and Vladimir Nemirovich-Danchenko in 1898. Since 1989, the theatre bears the name of Anton Chekhov, one of its main authors.
🏫 The MAT was established with a special emphasis on making theater more public, with a focus on the formation of a fixed troupe and repertoire, both of which would allow for an in-depth and naturalized performance. It reformed the way that theater was practiced and revolutionized dramatic theory with Stanislavsky's system.
Nowadays the Theater is only growing; it already has 3 stages to perform in Moscow. As of today Konstantin Khabensky, Russian actor of stage and film, director and philanthropist, holds the post of the Artistic Director of the MAT.
🎉Our best wishes of continued success on the theater’s 125th anniversary!
