National Dramatic Theatre Anton Chekhov, Russian language theatre in central Chișinău, Moldova.
The National Dramatic Theatre Anton Chekhov is a theatre building in central Chișinău with a stage designed for approximately 500 spectators. It offers a traditional performance space where productions are staged regularly throughout the year.
The theatre was founded in 1934 in Tiraspol and relocated to central Chișinău during the 1960s. The move marked a turning point, establishing its current role as a cultural institution in the city.
The theatre focuses on classic works from world literature that still resonate with audiences today. Visitors come to experience stories exploring human relationships and social questions through dramatic performance.
The theatre is located in downtown Chișinău and is relatively easy to reach. When planning a visit, note that performances are in Russian and events typically begin in the evening.
The theatre is one of few institutions in Moldova dedicated entirely to Russian-language dramatic arts. This specialized focus makes it a singular place for audiences seeking to experience classical theatre in this language.
