The Bolshoi Drama Theatre in Moscow
The 25th edition of the Golden Mask Festival in 2019 opened with the Moscow presentation of the Bolshoi Drama Theatre from St. Petersburg as part of the celebration of the BDT’s 100th anniversary. The Moscow tour featured five productions: THE STORM, ALICE, THE GOVERNOR, THE DRUNKS and GLORY.
The BDT is a legendary theatre with a unique history that includes collaboration with the country’s most prominent playwrights, theatre directors and set designers. Today the BDT bears the name of Georgy Tovstonogov who was, for many years, its artistic director and formed an unprecedented ensemble of actors. The BDT’s present is no less significant than its great history. Headed by one of the most interesting theatre directors Andrei Moguchyi, the BDT today is again in the focus of attention for theatre fans.
