Apraksin Theatre

Japanese: アプラクシン劇場 - あぷらくしんげきじょう
Apraksin Theatre

...The theater is commonly known by the abbreviation BDT. The theater building itself, which faces the Fontanka Canal, which crosses almost the middle of Nevsky Prospect in St. Petersburg, was built in 1879 and was originally called the Apraksin Theater and then the Suborin Theater. On February 15, 1919, at the initiative of Gorky, Mariya Fyodorovna Andreeva (1868-1953), Blok, and others, the theater was inaugurated with the opening performance of Schiller's Don Carlos in the Conservatory Hall (performances have been held in the current building since 1920), and went on to perform works by Shakespeare, Molière, Schiller, Hugo, and Goldoni in succession, and in the early 1920s it attracted attention by actively performing works by German Expressionism.
