The Operetta Theater (Engels) was opened in the second half of the twentieth century. His repertoire today includes mainly Viennese classical operettas. There are also musicals for children. The theater is very popular in its city.
History
Engels got his own musical comedy in 1968. The operetta theater was built by decision of the regional executive committee of the Saratov region. He was given the building, which previously housed the House of Culture. In August 1968, the theater began preparing its repertoire. The first performance of the musical comedy of the city of Engels was called “We Will Be Acquainted, Dear Countrymen!”. The troupe was assembled from young graduates of theatrical educational institutions. The post of chief director was then taken by G. Keller, Honored Artist. The director was appointed E. Neumann. Over the years of its existence, the Operetta Theater (Engels) has staged over a hundred performances. Of these, 54 productions were created for young viewers. The theater also showed the public 9 different concert programs. The troupe often tours the country and performs at the best stage venues in Murmansk, Moscow, Kaluga, Sevastopol, Volgograd, Ryazan, Novgorod, etc.
Today the theater is headed by Alexander Gornov. He is honored with the title of Honored Worker of Culture. The main director of the theater is Dmitry Leontyev. Among the soloists there are actors who are awarded the title of Honored Artist of Russia. The main choreographer of the theater is Vladimir Lomakin. He is a multiple winner of international competitions. The success of the theater is not only in a wonderful troupe. The role and selection of the repertoire also plays. The theater attaches great importance to this issue. The basis of the repertoire consists of a classic operetta. But the theater regularly searches for new musical drama.
