This book is about theaters and Moscow, and how the most social form of art thrives on the capital's stages. Valentina Yatsenko, an editor who has long collaborated with Moscow theaters, explains how the theater building, with its facades, columns, false windows, boxes, stucco, and austere brickwork, not only serves as a backdrop for actors' performances but also engages in an active dialogue with everyone who crosses its threshold. In this way, the theater space itself becomes part of the audience's interaction.

Particular attention is paid to the history of theater architecture from antiquity to the present day, as well as the unique layouts of Moscow's largest modern theaters: the Moscow Art Theater, the Moscow Art Theater, the Variety Theater, the Melnikov Stage, and many others. Try to see the theater not only as a place of work for great actors, but also as an architectural marvel in its own right.
