Rossiya Theatre, Entertainment venue on Pushkin Square, Moscow, Russia
Rossiya Theatre is a theater building on Pushkin Square featuring a modernist glass facade and extended canopy structure. The stage is equipped to handle complex productions and can support substantial scenery and technical equipment.
The building opened in 1961 as one of Europe's largest cinema theaters and remained a major film venue throughout the Soviet era. It later underwent significant renovation to become a contemporary musical theater.
The theater now hosts major musical productions and brings international stagecraft to Moscow audiences in a central cultural venue. Visitors experience contemporary theatrical art presented through partnerships with global production companies.
The venue is located near Pushkinskaya and Tverskaya metro stations, making it easily accessible by public transport. The area around Pushkin Square provides good access and basic facilities for visitors.
During renovation, seating was reduced to improve sight lines and viewer comfort throughout the hall. This choice prioritized quality viewing experience over maximum capacity.
