Stanislavsky Theatre

Throughout the Theatre’s century-long history, the sound of operetta has never left its stage — it is part of its artistic DNA. Even before the studios of Stanislavsky and Nemirovich-Danchenko settled at Bolshaya Dmitrovka, 17, the venue was home to Moscow’s legendary Operetta Theatre, led by the brilliant Grigory Yaron. Fittingly, the very first production in the Theatre’s history was Lecocq’s La fille de Madame Angot, staged by Nemirovich-Danchenko himself. And long before becoming a revered theatrical sage, Konstantin Stanislavsky began his creative path performing in operettas and vaudevilles with the “Alekseyev Circle.”

The musical score of Winter Evening in Chamonix is a sparkling mosaic of works by the greatest composers of the operetta genre — Jacques Offenbach, Charles Lecocq, Imre Kálmán, Franz Lehár, Johann Strauss II, Franz von Suppé, Karl Millöcker, Rudolf Friml, Nico Dostal, Nikolai Strelnikov, and Paul Abraham. Set at a fashionable ski resort, this delightful performance invites audiences into a world where guests fall in love, dance, and sing under the spell of alpine starlight.
