One of the most beloved theaters in Minsk. A large selection of productions of various genres for every taste. The general atmosphere in the theater leaves a pleasant aftertaste. The acting is always at the highest level. I've been to many performances, some even several times, and I've never left disappointed. The only drawback is a long queue in the women's toilet before the performance and in the questionnaire
Today, on December 29, 2024, at 14:00, we attended the play "At the Behest of the Pike" at the Central House of Officers.
What a wonderful performance!
Bright, lively, cheerful, positive!
Harmonious in everything!!!
The artists played amazing! They believed everyone. Alexander Girenok as Emelya is definitely good. I worked with the gym (with children). And how easily and naturally he danced in a modern style! Tsarevna Nesmeyana (Elena Stetsenko) and her scenes when she wants something, but definitely not what her Mother offers her, are so immersed in our ordinary life with our ordinary children and their "I want/ I don't want, but I'll scream a little!" - this is beyond praise! We were laughing, thank you! How the Princess's Mother danced (Veronika Plyashkevich) - delight! Complete dedication. Applause! All the actors played great!
I really liked the costumes. Solid, new, modern. It is clear that they are made "with their heads". The colors are perfectly matched. There is no feeling of "I made it out of what it was." Thank you so much - these are the best costumes that I have personally seen. In this performance, in general, everything is fine with the color! A very pleasing performance to the eye! The scenery is lovely. Everything is done competently and with taste. A furnace of magical beauty and a royal throne too. There was no overload, there was enough of everything, and no more was needed. I got an aesthetic pleasure from the picture.
In terms of duration, everything is fine, not too long, not boring. Lively and diverse. There were enough songs (calm ones alternated with cheerful ones), dances, and dialogues. They sang live.
A performance with modern elements and they were appropriate. There was no overkill. I'm fine with jokes, too, and I wasn't ashamed of them either.
My husband said after what he saw that he would not go to the cinema anymore after such a performance by actors! It's worth a lot)
The performance "At the behest of the pike" surprised and pleased us! Let's make it our annual family tradition for the New Year. It gives a festive mood. Definitely better than any New Year's play. It's much more interesting!
And yes, Santa Claus and the Snow Maiden were there too, playing with the children.
For all ages, the performance will appeal to everyone. Go boldly!
My favorite theater, where I enjoy going monthly. Bright performances, excellent actors. Such performances as "Faust" or "The Count of Monte Cristo" can be safely considered country-level performances, because many, without exaggeration, went and continue to go to them 10 or more times. Go at least once and you won't regret it. "The Brothers Karamazov" and "Masquerade" are no less worthy performances. And director David Razumov was a revelation to me. Even this theater has a good aura.. Bravo, thank you!
I really like the theater. The performances are wonderful! Especially the musical "The Count of Monte Cristo", I watched it several times. And I would like a wish. Since the theater is currently "gone" for major repairs, I would like the stalls to be redone. It's just terrible!!! A very gentle slope. And, if you are not sitting in the front rows, unfortunately, you will only have to listen to the performance. Do it like in a Youth Theater, rows of seats are on high steps. Everyone can see everything from any point.
I hope that the management of the theater will listen to this proposal. And we, the audience, will be even more pleased to visit our favorite theater.
The theater building itself is a wonderful architectural ensemble. I also really like the interior design, the photo zone with many details that can be carefully considered before the performance or during the intermission. Very attentive, caring and pleasant administrators. Quite a large hall, a huge eye-catching chandelier. Theater chairs are a bit "stiff" if you sit at a long performance. Of the latter, I was on tour performances - "THE AVIATOR" and "Unforgiven", I usually don't consider them in the poster, but this time it's a complete DELIGHT! Both the production and the performance of a large troupe on a new stage, well, the scenery!!!
I went back in 2010. Interesting adult productions. They are now closed for repairs, but everything was decent enough! Queues always gather where there are few booths and when a lot of people come to visit the toilet or cafe at a limited time (intermission, for example)! The overall atmosphere is festive. I will come here (after repairs).
I liked the theater first of all with a comfortable hall: whatever place you choose, the review is excellent! The polite staff would like to mention:it was my first time here and when I needed to find out something, they helped me without any problems. On the second floor there is a buffet where various alcoholic beverages, tea, coffee, desserts, sandwiches are sold. There are tables where you can sit.
The beginning of my introduction to art began with this theater, I got to the production of "dangerous connections". Everything is compactly located inside, the seats in the hall are comfortable - the action on the stage is visible from everywhere, the acoustics are good. During the intermission, almost everyone rushed to the buffet together - which created considerable queues (two bartenders barely managed to serve everyone by the third bell). But, the smartest ones ordered at the bar in advance, before the start of the performance, it turns out that it was possible. In 2021, they say there was a renovation. After the end of the performance, the wardrobe was waiting with a considerable queue.
One of the most beloved theaters in Minsk.
I liked everything, after the renovation, a lot of advantages appeared: the stage is functioning (moving), the museum bar, even pre-ordering coffee for the intermission.
The most important thing is that excellent and sincere actors and actresses perform here: Polozkov A., Cheres S., Plyashkevich V. and many others!
The productions are fresh, with a twist of the theater.
Never - to - be - forgotten trips to the performances !
We went to the theater with a friend to see a play, it's quite an interesting performance, it's fascinating, and the music is well chosen, the actors are great, everything gives you goosebumps. I liked it, we'll go some other time
I really like the theater) I visit every year. The location of the viewing areas is suitable, the chairs are comfortable. The cast is amazing 🔥💯 There is a buffet, a toilet (but there are few booths, there is always a long queue).
A cozy theater, a very diverse and interesting repertoire.Famous Belarusian actors, well-known in Russia.We are happy to visit with my husband.The last performance was dedicated to Vladimir Mulyavin "Pesnyar", in an unusual production for us, but the wonderful acting of the actors helped us to accept and understand this performance
I love the musical comedy theater! For a live orchestra. I always look into the buffet before the performance, drink coffee with cakes or a sandwich. This is already a tradition. Performances always delight me: music, acting, staging, costumes, singing, dancing, makeup. I am always very impressed by the paintings. I really like to go there. And I recommend everyone to visit. I thank all the actors, the staff behind the scenes and all the staff of the theater. You give us a sense of joy and a sense of happiness from your work
The theater is wonderful. The performances are excellent. We were at the Georgian comedy, it's just a delight. Yes, it's hot. The hood is not very good, but it works. There was a cooler with water and cups in the course and the guests quenched their thirst during the intermission. BUT HERE ARE THE SEATS. It's time to change!!! It is impossible to sit. Or maybe it's just our kind of places. Do not take the 12th row from the 14th to the 11th place. I recommend watching the production of "Khanuma's tricks"!!!
It is located in the city center, which gives a comfortable place to stay. The service staff is aged, which gives the atmosphere of the past time). The actors play at a professional level, you immerse yourself in what is happening on stage. At the balcony level there is a buffet made in a modern style and a sufficient number of tables where you can have a delicious snack and discuss what is happening in a pleasant atmosphere.
We had a vacation in Minsk in November 2023, we wanted to implement the cultural program in full.
We don't know the Belarusian language, we chose a theater with performances in Russian. The tickets were purchased from the website back in Russia, there were no problems.
The theater is small, clean, the renovation is good, the staff is polite.
I recommend visiting the theater and evaluating the actors' performance, the work of the director and other employees, because we do not come to sit in an armchair, but to enjoy art.
I would recommend visiting this place.
We went with a friend to the "tricks of Khanuma". It was almost the first time he had been to the theater. We both liked it very much. I want to thank the actors, the orchestra, and everyone involved in the production, music, scenery, and lighting!
The only thing that offended the guests of the city was the passive aggression from the ushers, but then all the impressions were only positive!
P. S. From the far left places of the partner, an excellent overview, who doubts!
Из спектаклей:
Граф Монте-Кристо - очень понравился. Динамичный, музыкальный, шикарный.
Трамвай Желание - была в малом зале, атмосфера невероятная, спектакль сам хороший.
Крейцерова соната в Малом зале, отличная игра актеров, держит в напряжении все время.
Опасные связи тоже понравились. Хороший актерский состав и интересный сюжет. Вспомнился фильм Жестокие игры))
В омуте - два небольших спектакля, очень атмосферные. О поисках любви. Понравилось. до мурашек некоторые моменты.
Проделки Ханумы - веселый колоритный спектакль, музыкальный.
Селфи со склерозом - комедия с ноткой лирики. Подойдет тем, кому за 30+. Отличный актерский состав.
Укрощение строптивой - яркий, красивый, интересный спектакль. Отличный актерский состав.
Одураченный муж - для меня был скучноват.
Месяц в деревне - отличный спектакль по Тургеневу, блистательная актерская игра. Мне кажется, женщинам вообще очень понравится. Показаны все грани женской природы.
Идиот - сильный спектакль.
Понравилась услуга предзаказа в буфете перед спектаклем для антракта. Заранее оплачиваешь, выходишь во время антракта, а для тебя накрыт столик.
Есть кулер с водой. Приятно.
Посетил театр 3 июня, спектакль "Как стать богатым". Отличная игра актеров в прекрасной постановке! Игре актеров ставлю твёрдую пятерку, с маленькой поправкой: некоторые диалоги были несколько неразборчивы, что могу списать на свой уже не молодецкий слух.
Театр оставил не самое лучшее впечатление. Тускло, блекло, нет истинного театрального праздника при посещении. Небольшой зал, всё как-то заранее приглушает предвкушение хорошего зрелища. Уныло. Очень уныло. В середине спектакля погас свет на сцене и зажёгся свет в зале. Зрители несколько минут сидели и ждали продолжения. Ан нет... Это, оказывается, антракт был... Сколько минут? А Бог его знает.... Объявлений не было.
Нет, в целом, как обычно, от посещения театра, впечатления очень хорошие. Но - это заслуга актеров, но не руководства театра. Ставлю двойную оценку: спектакль - 4,8/5,0; театр и обслуживание 3,7/5,0. Есть над чем работать и работать. Уберите унылость и этот непонятный уголок быта слева от входа. Никто не может понять, что он олицетворяет и символизирует...
One can only be sincerely happy for the residents of Minsk: there is no such amazing theater in any other city!
Neither in Moscow nor in Leningrad have I ever come across such a sincere, warm and sincere atmosphere created by the staff of the Gorky State Academic Russian Drama Theater for the audience. From ushers to actors.
A theater with a pre-war history, on the stage of which genuine stars of the all-Union scale shone in different years: People's Artists of the USSR Alexandra Klimova and Rostislav Yankovsky, people's, honored and simply wonderful artists of the Belarusian SSR and modern Belarus - Yuri Sidorov, Yuri Stupakov, Tamara Trushina, Andrei Dudarenko, Oleg Korchikov, Vyacheslav Solodilov, Ivan Matskevich…
The modern viewer goes, first of all, to the genuine luminaries of the drama theater - Olga Klebanovich and Natalia Suitcase, Alexander Tkachenok and Andrei Dushechkin, to the incomparable and delightful in all their roles Sergei Chekeres and Ruslan Chernetsky, Alexander Polozkov and Alexander Girenok, Oleg Kotz and Vasily Grechukhin, Sergei Savenkov and Sergei Zhbankov, Andrei Senkin and Pavel Yevtushenko, Kirill Nikitin and Alexey Kachan…
And, of course, irresistible in their natural beauty and admirable in terms of boundless talent and charm - Veronika Plyashkevich and Olga Zdyarskaya, Victoria Kovalchik and Vitalina Bidyuk, Yulia Kadushkevich and Inna Savenkova, Ekaterina Shatrova and Anna Malankina, Emilia Pranskute and Tatiana Bovkalova, Elena Stetsenko and a rising star - Vera Gritskevich…
In short, the modern Gorky Theater has become a kind of business card of the capital of the Republic of Belarus. Tickets for flagship theatrical productions ("Faust", "The Count of Monte Cristo", "The Tricks of Khanuma", "The Bride", "Pesnyar" and others) are sold out with lightning speed, long before the date of their holding. Asking for an "extra ticket" half an hour before the start of the performance is truly a hopeless task. Great happiness, if there are at least 1-2 ... and so, only via the Internet, or through the box office of the theater and ... in advance.
Success and inexhaustible creative inspiration to the entire theater team!
The best theater! We will miss you a lot Thanks to the staff of this theater. Visiting it is mandatory!! We are waiting for the end of the renovation, buying tickets to the Palace of Trade Unions
The best drama theater in Minsk for me. The strongest acting troupe, a strong repertoire, respect for classical works. I recommend: "The Count of Monte Cristo", "Faust", "The Brothers Karamazov". Just plan ahead - you won't get tickets. It is a pity that the actors of the theater are not well known, they are real masters.
My beloved theater! With all my heart... An amazing troupe, talented production directors, a very rich repertoire and always a lot of premieres! I sincerely recommend it! At the box office of the theater, tickets without commission are a trifle, but it's nice, especially when buying several tickets.
Great actors! I rarely go to the theater, but it combines the architecture of the past (stucco, references to the BSSR, etc.) and modern acting in some performances, I recommend it!
She did not even come to the performance, but to the actress Veronika Plyashkevich. I was glad to see her on stage. I will be in Minsk again, I will definitely come to the performance with her participation. Veronica 😘😘😘
The production of "Count of Montecristo" is a delight!I really liked it!
Beautiful hall, interior! Very attentive and intelligent staff!
I had a great pleasure from visiting! Thanks!
Wonderful theater, good acoustics, wonderful staff. The seats on the balcony were slightly pumped up, and the audience in the hall. There are no complaints about the artists))) I won't say for the buffet, I wasn't. Overall, I was pleased with the level of the game, although I saw only one performance, but for sure next time I will plan a trip to visit this theater.
It's just great! We got to the play "The Count of Monte Cristo" and were delighted. Great acting, atmosphere, emotions. A very cozy and beautiful theater)
I like all the performances. The artists play and sing with talent. I like Sergey Cherkes, I went to performances with his participation on purpose. I also perceive the hall and the foyer well: there are historical elements preserved after renovation, there are photos of posters, actors, mini-exhibitions.
Национальный драматический театр: расположен в самом центре города. Здание театра - памятник архитектуры. Внутри соответственно и есть всё - от гардероба (читайте: вешалки) и буфетов до вместительного зала.
Попал на спектакль "Одураченный муж" по Мольеру. Впечатления - положительные, хотя и не восторженные. Особо отмечу качественные декорации и костюмы.
Сходить нужно - ведущий театр Республики!
A rich repertoire, interesting productions, talented actors. But the most important thing is the atmosphere of the theater. You step over the threshold - and all the worries remain on the street
Были в Минске, ходили на спектакли в драмтеатр имени Горького. Особенно понравилась "Двенадцатая ночь", просто изумительный спектакль, тонко, музыкально, шут -бесподобен, актеры на высоте. "Проделки Ханумы" очень хороши, Сергей Чекерес, Руслан Чернецкий и Олег Коц выше всяких похвал. Как стать богатым - легко, весело, зал был в восторге. Опасные связи мне очень понравились, достойно, Сергею Чекересу и Екатерине Шатровой - браво. В Бесприданнице очень понравился Сергей Жбанков в роли Карандышева, пели прекрасно, но, самое потрясающее это визуальное решение спектакля, финал пересмотрела бы, последние 10 минут, просто завораживающе. Знойные мамочки не зацепил, на один раз. И отдельное спасибо администраторам, ребенок закашлялся во время спектакля, сами принесли стакан воды, приятно удивили.
One of the best theaters in my life. "Faust" will always be remembered!) Even Pushkin's fairy tales captivated us adults. Many thanks to the entire theater team for their talent and dedication. I highly recommend it.
We watched the play "Khanuma".We had a great pleasure.Thanks to the artists for the game, for the special "Georgian atmosphere" that they created.Special thanks for the song in Georgian!!!It was unexpected and very pleasant!!!
We are already choosing which performance we will watch next time.
It is a very atmospheric theater, but I still love the repertoire of the Chamber Drama Theater in the House of the Writer more! But Khanum's performance in this theater, which I watched, is my love!
Дважды была в театре имени Горького, все замечательно. Расположение в центре города, из чего следует, что добираться удобно, уютный зал, хорошая акустика, кафе с неплохим ассортиментом и в первую очередь достойный репертуар. Я была на спектаклях "Как стать богатым" и "Круг любви".
Единственное, небольшой минус, хотелось бы больше места между рядами кресел, но в любом случае, буду рада побывать и на других постановках.
I have long wanted to go to the Tram desire.
It finally happened in Minsk!! I am very pleased with the production, the actors played well, especially the main one.
The theater is very old, but beautiful and cozy.
This is not the first time I have visited this theater.
In addition to the wonderful performance of the actors, as well as the repertoire, I would like to note the interior of the theater itself, the mini museum on the floors.
The only small minus is that not everyone can shop during the intermission, BUT they put a coffee machine on.
In general, everything is great.
We watched the 12th night, we really liked how the artists played! The buffet is inexpensive by Moscow standards, there are free tables. The only thing is that the seats in the hall are not very comfortable, it would be necessary to update them.
Among the advantages: a magnificent chandelier in the hall, moderately warm, the actors are super.
Of the cons: As we wrote below, half the stage is not visible behind the heads of those sitting in front, their legs are numb on the chairs, so during the intermission you need to walk around the theater to warm up.
I recommend staging a "Selfie with sclerosis" rather to people over 55-60 (according to my observations, they laughed at such jokes the most).
A good theater with interesting paintings. I like the acting, the plots of the productions and much more that is related to the performance itself. But the layout is clearly not for people: wardrobes in narrow aisles, seats with a small rise (the guest's head in front of you will cover from 30% of the stage), one buffet.
Everything is fine and wonderful, but there are a few moments for which I took off the star.
- There is a huge queue for the women's toilet. Many women can't stand it and go to the men's.
- There is no passage near the wall. If your seat is near the wall and you are a little late after queuing in the women's bathroom, you will have to lift the entire row.
I really liked the theater, small, but solemn and cozy. I bought tickets on an electronic platform, very convenient. The queue to the toilet is like everywhere else. The performance was gorgeous. The theater is located in the very center of the city
The productions here are specific, sometimes cheap, but the actors here are good, especially the old school. I recommend those interested to Google about the founding fathers of this Jewish theater: their biographies are not easy...
I really liked the performance "Bachelorette Party". Great boat game, cool scenery, super)
Special thanks for the opportunity to order everything you need at the buffet during the intermission) this is the service🤓
It was quite cool in the hall. There are huge queues in the toilet, but this is standard since mostly women go to the theater. The staff is not very helpful. The interior and the hall are beautiful, the chairs are comfortable.
Место очень красивое и антураж на высшем уровне, все потолки оформлены красивыми люстрами. Сиденья удобные, посидеть часика два точно будет комфортно. Актеры играют великолепно, до того как сходила в этот театр, театр мне казался чем то очень скучным.
