Moscow Art Theatre |
Also found in: Wikipedia | 0.04 sec. |
Moscow Art TheatreRussian theatre specializing in theatrical naturalism. It was founded in 1898 by Konstantin Stanislavsky (as artistic director) and Vladimir Nemirovich-Danchenko (administrative director) with the goal of replacing old-fashioned histrionic acting and heavy-handed staging with a simpler and truer style. It opened with Aleksey Tolstoy's Tsar Fyodor Ioannovich and won its first major success with Anton Chekhov's The Seagull. Along with other plays by Chekhov, the theatre mounted new works by writers such as Maksim Gorky and Maurice Maeterlinck. Its company received acclaim on European and U.S. tours in 1922 and influenced later theatrical development worldwide. Since 1939 it has been known as the Moscow Academic Art Theatre. |

| Konstantin Stanislavsky pioneered the introspective approach to acting in his work with the Moscow Art Theatre. True, the Bolshoi has worked out a distinctive acrobatic movement style and its mime has acquired some of the more effective elements of the Moscow Art Theatre. It has been 101 years since Anton Chekhov (1860-1904) established his stage credentials when the Moscow Art Theatre, under Konstantin Stanislavsky, premiered ``The Seagull,'' the first of the four plays (including ``Uncle Vanya,'' ``Three Sisters'' and ``The Cherry Orchard'') that would guarantee the playwright's immortality. |
