Drama Theaters

The Aleksandrinsky Theater, named in honor of Nikolay I`s wife - Aleksandra Fedorovna, is one of the most famous Russian dramatic theaters. The building that holds the theatre was designed and built under the architectural supervision of Rossi.

Admiralteisky District M Tekhnologichesky Institute

The Youth Theatre on the Fontanka, located in the charming Ismailovsky Gardens, has been a favourite with St. Petersburg´s students and intelligentsia since it opened in 1980. It has had three directors, all of them distinguished in their own way. The current director is Semyon Slivak. The theater´s production of Bulgakov´s ´Days of the Turbins´, while a little strong on the slapstick, is strongly recommended, though it is generally agreed that most of the theater´s productions are worth seeing.
