Kamenny Island Theatre, Classical theatre on Kamenny Island, Saint Petersburg, Russia

The rectangular wooden structure stands on a limestone base, featuring eight Corinthian columns and a triangular frontispiece on its main facade.

The theatre, constructed in 1826 by architect Smaragd Shustov, required only forty days to complete and remains the last wooden theatre in Saint Petersburg.

The venue operates as the second stage of Tovstonogov Bolshoi Drama Theater, presenting performances in an intimate setting with 310 seats.

Located at Old Theatre Square 13, the theatre underwent extensive renovations between 2005 and 2012, adding modern technical systems and underground facilities.

The renovation project incorporated 2,812 square meters of underground space while preserving the historical structure despite Saint Petersburg's challenging marshy terrain.
