Moscow Art Theatre (, Russia , founded in 1897 by Konstantin Stanislavsky and Vladimir Nemirovich-Danchenko . It was conceived as a venue for Naturalistic theatre, in contrast to the Melodrama s that were Russia's dominant form of theatre at the time. The theatre quickly became famous when it staged productions of Anton Chekhov 's four major works, beginning with '' The Seagull ''. During the Soviet era, the Moscow Art Theatre received much state support, in exchange for producing socialist drama. The Moscow Art Theatre is still in existence today, with a Seagull as its mascot. It has been run by Oleg Tabakov since 2000 . The theatre is located just off Tverskaya Street , only a few blocks northwest of Red Square . OUTSIDE LINKS:
