In the 17th century, only Moscow's elite had access to the magical,
vibrant world of the theater. InĀ Russia's Theatrical Past,
Claudia Jensen, Ingrid Maier, Stepan Shamin, and Daniel C. Waugh
mine Russian and Western archival sources to document the history
of these productions as they developed at the court of the Russian
tsar. Using such sources as European newspapers, diplomats'
reports, foreign travel accounts, witness accounts, and payment
records, they also uncover unique aspects of local culture and
politics of the time. Focusing on Northern European theatrical
traditions, the authors explore the concept of intertheater, which
describes transmissions between performing traditions, and reveal
how the Muscovite court's interest in theater and other musical
entertainment was strongly influenced by diplomatic contacts.
Russia's Theatrical Past, made possible by an international
research collaborative, offers fresh insight into how and why
Russians went to such great efforts to rapidly develop court
theater in the 17th century.
