“The history of your theater is truly impressive.
Founded by the great Evgeny Bagrationovich Vakhtangov, from the very first days it became a striking phenomenon in the cultural life of Moscow and the whole country, ”the message says.
Putin noted that "each of his premieres turned into a real holiday, aroused genuine public interest, and was vividly discussed by fans of dramatic art."
“There is no doubt that behind such a brilliant, lasting success is the great inspired work of many generations of Vakhtangovites: directors, actors, musicians, artists, representatives of other creative professions - masters and creators.
It is important that while carefully preserving the traditions, the unique spiritual and ideological heritage of your predecessors, you are open for innovation, for bold artistic experiments, please the audience with interesting performances and grandiose festivals, ”the president added.
At the end of September, Putin congratulated People's Artist of the USSR Vera Vasilyeva on her 96th birthday.
