Сцена «Мельников», State theatre company on Stromynka Street in Moscow, Russia
The theatre on Stromynka Street occupies a renovated constructivist building and presents Russian and international productions year-round. The venue stages classical works, contemporary dramas, and experimental pieces on a regular basis.
The theatre was founded in 1996 by director Roman Viktyuk and established its home in the former Rusakov Workers' Club building. This transformation of a Soviet-era cultural centre into a modern theatre marked the venue's renewal.
The theatre stages works from classical to contemporary authors, showing how audiences engage with different theatrical approaches and interpretations. Productions reflect the tastes and interests of Moscow's theatre-going public.
The box office is open daily and tickets can be purchased in person or online. It helps to check the current schedule in advance to secure seats for performances that interest you.
The theatre frequently works with plays by Tennessee Williams and Mikhail Bulgakov, continuing the artistic direction set by its founder. This ongoing focus on particular authors shapes a recognisable pattern throughout the programming.
