Mayakovsky Theatre, Historic theatre on Bolshaya Nikitskaya Street, Moscow, Russia
The Mayakovsky Theatre operates in a grand building constructed in 1886 by architect Konstantin Tersky for performances by international artists visiting Moscow.
Founded in 1920 as the Theatre of Revolutionary Satire, the institution received its current name in 1954 to honor the Russian poet Vladimir Mayakovsky.
The theatre presents productions of classical Russian literature, including works by Gogol, Dostoevsky, and Chekhov, maintaining traditional theatrical practices.
Located at Bolshaya Nikitskaya 19/13, the theatre welcomes visitors daily between 11:00 and 21:00 for performances, tours, and ticket purchases.
The stage features minimal decorations except for a traditional Russian samovar, which represents daily life during performances of classical plays.
