Saint Petersburg Comedy Theatre

In 1904, on the corner of Nevsky Prospekt and Little Sadovaya Street an architect Gabriel V. Baranovsky built the famous Art Nouveau building - the House of the Trade Association "Eliseev Brothers." The first floor of the house was given over to the shop, on the second there was a theater, which was opened with staging of Shakespeare's "Hamlet." For any one now the theater on Nevsky means only the Comedy Theatre.
