Mikhail Chekhov Riga Russian Theatre, Theatre company in central Riga, Latvia.
The Mikhail Chekhov Riga Russian Theatre is a theatre company in central Riga with three stages housed at 16 Kaļķu Street. Performances are presented primarily in Russian, ranging from classical to contemporary works.
Founded in 1883, this is the earliest Russian theatre institution established outside Russian territory. Its long presence in Riga reflects the deep cultural roots of the Russian-speaking community in the city.

The box office is open daily through the afternoon and into the evening, where you can purchase tickets for regular performances and special events throughout the year. Planning ahead is helpful, especially if you want to catch specific productions.
The acclaimed theatre director Michael Chekhov directed here in 1931, staging productions of Gogol's Inspector General and Shakespeare's Twelfth Night. His creative work that year shaped the artistic direction of the venue significantly.
