Alexandrinsky theatre building
Alexandrinsky theatre building, Theater in Tsentralny District, Saint Petersburg, Russia
The Empire-style Alexandrinsky Theatre features a yellow facade with white columns, topped by Apollo's chariot on the main pediment.
Russian architect Carlo Rossi designed this neoclassical building in 1828 as a state theater for drama performances by imperial decree.
The theater stage premiered important Russian plays including Gogol's The Government Inspector in 1836 and Chekhov's The Seagull in 1896.
The building contains a main auditorium with 1,150 seats arranged in six tiers and offers guided tours in multiple languages each day.
The theater stands at the center of an integrated architectural complex where every building dimension was calculated using precise mathematical ratios.
