The opulent St. Petersburg Imperial Theaters were subsidized and
administered by the Russian court from the eighteenth century until
the collapse of the tsarist order in 1917. This close association
raises many questions about the uses of these theaters and where
their loyalties lay in the complex shifting power structure of
early twentieth century Russia. This history begins in 1900 with
the theater flourishing but undergoing change, then chronicles the
impact of war and revolution, as well as audience and
administration, leading up to the effective re-establishment of
state control over the theaters by the Bolsheviks in 1920. While
the theaters were often allied with the forces of change, their
grandeur harked back to the age of the tsars, creating an irony
that is explored here in depth. Photographs and diagrams of the
theaters are included, along with photographs of the central
historical figures, and contemporary cartoons referring to the
theaters.
