The New Stage of the Alexandrinsky Theater was opened in 2013. The unique high-tech New Stage complex was designed by a St. Petersburg architect, Yury Zemtsov, and built in the location of the theater’s former workshops between the Ostrovsky Square and Fontanka Embankment. The New Stage is a multilevel complex including 4 auditoriums of different sizes and a spacious 2-level lobby with the state-of-the-art lighting, sound, video and media equipment.
