  6. Other Life of the Odessa Theatre. A New Building

The 20-th century brought great change into the theatre. Television, radio, cinema, video altered the course of the major performing arts and created the new ones. But still there are hundreds of musical comedy theatres, drama theatres, opera houses, puppet theatres, philharmonics and conservatoires where the audience is excited at the prospect of seeing a play and the actors are most encouraged by the warm reception. But first, I'd like to tell you some words about the theatre. It is a building where plays, operas or ballets are performed. Of course, it has a stage for the actors and an auditorium where the audience sits. The curtain usually separates the stage from the audito­rium. As a rule, the curtain is dropped or lowered between the scenes or acts of a play. The most expensive seats are in the stalls, boxes and dress-circles. The seats in the balcony, pit and the upper circle are comparatively cheaper. An intricate system of lights illuminates the stage. While the curtain is down, the workers on the stage can change the scenery and prepare the stage for the next part of the performance.

A play lives a long life before it makes its appearance on the stage before the audience. It is a real part of art and its creation calls for inspiration, talent and artistic ingenuity. A playwright conceives an idea and after months of hard work his idea develops into the script of the play. And finally, when everything is ready and the rehearsal goes off without a hitch, a dress rehearsal is called. After some time the curtain rises, the play faces the audience on its first night.

As for me, I am not much of a theatre goer but sometimes I like to go to the theatre with my friends or relatives just to relax. But I'll never forget my last visit to Krasnodar Drama Theatre. My mother bought two tickets at the advance box-office for the perfor­mance "№ 13".

There were brilliant actors and actresses in the cast, I should admit. The leading actress was The company gave the truly remarkable play — moving, captivating, provoking laughter and tears by turns. During the interval everybody talked about the brilliant acting of the actors. The concluding scene was exciting enough, the final moment was unforgettable. The actors received a tremendous acclamation from the packed audience. There was no doubt it was warmly received by the audience, many of pieces were encored. I admired everything: the wonderful scenery, marvellous acting, charming music. And it was obvious that the play was a great success.
