The Alexandrinsky Theatre (Russian: Александринский театр) or Russian State Pushkin Academy Drama Theater is a theatre in Saint Petersburg, Russia.

The Alexandrinsky Theatre is the oldest Russian national theatre.It was founded on 30 August 1756 by a Senate decree signed by Elizabeth of Russia.

Since 1832, the theatre has occupied an Empire-style building that Carlo Rossi designed. It was built in 1828-1832 on Alexandrinsky Square (now Ostrovsky Square), which is situated on Nevsky Prospekt between the Russian State Library and Anichkov Palace. The theatre and the square were named after Empress consort Alexandra Feodorovna. The building is part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site Historic Centre of Saint Petersburg and Related Groups of Monuments.

The premières of numerous Russian plays have been performed at the stage of the Alexandrinsky, including plays by Alexandr Griboyedov, Alexandr Ostrovsky, and Anton Chekhov. Famous directors who have staged work there include Vsevolod Meyerhold, Grigori Kozintsev, Georgy Tovstonogov, and Nikolay Akimov.

On 30 August 2006 the theatre reopened after reconstruction.


在奥斯特罗夫斯基广场深处有一座建筑物,这就是建筑家罗西于1832年建成的前亚历山大剧院,现为国立普希金模范话剧院。

话剧院的建筑极具特色。剧院有六根巨大的圆柱,宽阔前廊的壁龛里有舞蹈女神谬斯忒尔普西科拉和悲剧女神谬斯墨尔波墨涅的塑像。前廊上方是镶在楼冠里的竖琴,再上面是美神和艺术保护神阿波罗的飞辇。剧院墙壁的四周,装饰着用悲剧面具和花环组成的饰带。

歌剧院后面还有一条街,这条街也是罗西建造的,它和歌剧院一起被称为罗西建筑群。
