Sights of Donetsk
The Donetsk Drama Theater was established in 1961, next to Lenin Square, in the city center near popular hotels in Donetsk. It is built in the form of an ancient Greek temple, with the exception of its stage. It was originally planned to install a pediment figure, but then the idea was abandoned. During the period of reconstruction in 2005, the sculpture was nevertheless installed, but due to the lack of accurate information in the project, it was decided to portray the muse of tragedy from the mythology of Ancient Greece, Melpomene.
The Academic Music and Drama Theater is located at the highest point of the transverse area of Lenin Square, it was planned to build a new building of the House of Soviets here, but some changes were made to the plan of the city center, and the theater building remained untouched.
The activities of the acting troupe of the Drama Theater are known both within the country and abroad; victories at numerous theater festivals testify to this. In the summer of 2001, for numerous achievements in the development of theatrical art of the country, the drama theater received the status of Academic. Today, the institution is actively touring in many parts of the country, the repertoire includes not only the classics of Ukrainian drama, but also works by contemporary world authors.
Well, performances of a different kind can be seen at the Donbass Arena stadium, which was built in 2009 using the latest technology.
The creative biography of the theater began in 1927, when a Ukrainian workers' theater was created in the Chervonozavodsky district of Kharkov (then the capital of Ukraine), which was supposed to carry out a cultural and educational mission in the east of Ukraine. The basis of the troupe was the actors of the Kharkov State Folk Theater and the famous theater "Berezil".
In 1933, at the suggestion of the People's Commissariat for Education of Ukraine, the creative team, already mature at that time, was transferred to Donetsk (then still Stalino), where it opened its first season on November 7, 1933 with the premiere of I. Mikitenko's drama “Bastille of the Mother of God”.

The beginning of the Great Patriotic War interrupted the creative work. The Stalinist theater was not completely evacuated: most of the members of the team went to the front. A small group of actors merged with the remnants of the Artemovsky theater troupe and was evacuated to Kzil-Orda (Kazakh SSR). The first performance of the newly created Theater of Musical Comedy and Drama named after Artem was shown on October 11, 1941. Another, somewhat larger group, on the way to Central Asia, united with the Gorlovsky Theater and, under the name of the Stalin Drama Theater, worked in the city of Jalal-Abad, the Kirghiz SSR.
After the liberation of Donbass, in January and March 1944, both troupes returned to Stalino. Formed the final composition of the troupe of the Stalin State Ukrainian Musical Drama Theater. Artem.

- Where to stay: for sightseeing trips around the region, it is most convenient to stay in Kharkov - the capital of Eastern Ukraine. As befits a city with such a status, the choice of accommodation options is huge - from "starless" boarding houses and Soviet-style "three rubles" to modern business "fives". We recommend fans of history and literature to stop in Poltava or Zaporozhye - here is the battle, and the Cossacks, and Dikanka. Well, for those who want to improve their health and relax on the beaches, there is a direct road to Melekino.
- What to see: it’s worth starting your acquaintance with the region from its capital: in Kharkov, go first to Sumskaya Street, where most of the old buildings are concentrated, and then see the Shevchenko monument and the famous Crystal Stream, visit the Pokrovsky Cathedral and the Botanical Garden. Poltava will enchant with its center - Ivanova Gora and the Poltava Battle Museum. It is also worth a trip to the real Dikanka from here.
