In addition to the performances, the festival included an open conversation with the artistic director of the Alexandrinsky Theater Valery Fokin, a special screening of the film “Petropolis”, created on the basis of Kirill Fokin’s novel “Fire”, and an exhibition “Selected Images of the Russian Stage” was opened.

In Yerevan, the audience saw the play “Marriage” based on the comedy of the same name by Nikolai Gogol, which premiered in January 2008, on the eve of the 200th anniversary of the classic of Russian literature. To a large extent, thanks also to the brilliant ensemble of acting works, this production remains one of the most beloved by the public in the repertoire of the Alexandrinsky Theater today.

The stage life of Gogol’s classic comedy “The Marriage” began precisely on the Alexandrinsky stage, in 1842. And since that time, along with the “Inspector General”, “Marriage” has traditionally decorated the poster of the Alexandrinsky Theater. Interpretations of Gogol’s plays have always determined the creative structure of the troupe of the first Russian national theater, became programmatic, and today this tradition continues.
