Mykolayiv Academic Art Theatre of Russian Drama

The Mykolayiv Academic Art Theatre of Russian Drama is a performance venue in the city of Mykolaiv with notable architecture from the 19th century. The building features a large stage area, seating for around 900 spectators, and presents stagings of dramas and classical works.

The building was opened in 1881 by engineer-architect Theophil Brusnyts'kyi during a period of the city's economic growth. Later renovations by Jacov Sheffer in 1894 improved the facilities and solidified its role in the cultural life.

The theatre serves as a cultural hub for the city, hosting productions in Russian language that draw local audiences. Visitors find programming ranging from classical works to contemporary pieces that reflect the artistic traditions of the region.

The theatre is located on Admiralska Street in the city center and is reachable on foot, with bus stops nearby for additional mobility options. Arriving a bit before a performance starts is recommended to have time to explore the entrance area.

The theatre became known for hosting notable literary figures such as Vladimir Mayakovsky, who gave poetry readings in 1914 within its walls. Such guest appearances demonstrate the cultural significance of the venue beyond the city's borders.
