Gorky Drama Theatre, Drama theatre in Simferopol, Ukraine.
Gorky Drama Theatre is a theatre in Simferopol with classical architectural details including Corinthian columns and six sculptured female figures at the main entrance. The main auditorium seats around 1200 people and offers excellent sound quality for both dramatic works and musical performances.
The theatre was established in 1927 as the Russian Drama Theatre with support from the Moscow Maly Theatre, beginning with a performance of Konstantin Trenyov's work. The original building underwent complete reconstruction in 1956 following wartime relocation to Barnaul.
The venue presents Russian and Ukrainian productions, showing how both theatrical traditions coexist in the city's cultural life. Audiences experience works that reflect local identity and regional artistic practices.
The building sits in a central location and is easy to spot thanks to its distinctive columned entrance. Check performances in advance and arrive with time to spare, as the venue hosts regular dramatic and musical shows throughout the year.
During wartime the entire theatre company relocated to Barnaul where it continued performing while the original building sat empty. This experience as a nomadic theatre company during crisis became part of the institution's identity and story.
