In 2020, the Moscow Art Theater, which bears the name of a Russian playwright, celebrates the 160th anniversary of the birth of A.P. Chekhov with the premiere: Lithuanian director Oskaras Korshunovas staged The Seagull, which will be the fifth production of the play on the stage of the theater. In anticipation of a new performance, the Moscow Art Theater Museum will tell at the exhibition about all productions of the Moscow Art Theater’s “Seagull”, from 1898 to 2020.

One of the most famous plays in the world by Chekhov, which has become a classic of world drama, has a difficult fate. Its premiere took place on the stage of the Alexandrinsky Theater in 1896 and ended in failure. “This is not“ The Seagull, ”but“ game, ”one of the critics quipped after the performance. Chekhov from the audience went backstage. “The author has failed,” he concluded.

The idea to take a failed play on the stage of the Moscow Art Theater belongs to Vl. I. Nemirovich-Danchenko. The staff of the Art Theater took a risk and did not miscalculate. Later, after the triumphant staging of K. S. Stanislavsky and Vl. I. Nemirovich-Danchenko in 1898, the image of the seagull became the emblem of the Moscow Art Theater.

During its existence, the theater staged a play four times. In the year of the 160th anniversary of A.P. Chekhov, The Seagull returns to the scene again. The organizers are still silent exactly what the new performance will be, because before the premiere they don’t voice what will happen. But they promise unusual and interesting. Moreover, the leading artists of the theater are busy in the premiere: Daria Moroz, Igor Vernik, Stanislav Lyubshin, Evgenia Dobrovolskaya, Paulina Andreeva and many others.
