#OTD January 17 the world celebrates the 160th Birth Anniversary of Konstantin Stanislavsky, Russian director and actor, founder of the Moscow Art Theater and creator of the famous Stanislavsky Method of acting - a set of ideas and rules that theater actors and movie stars follow all over the world.
⚜️Thanks to Konstantin Stanislavsky, the Russian theater turned into an advanced one, while Stanislavsky himself turned into such a significant figure that a rare conversation about directing or acting is complete without mentioning his name. And his famous remark “I don’t believe!” quoted even by those who have never been to the theater.
⚜️“Let someone explain to me why the violinist who plays in an orchestra on the tenth violin must daily perform hour-long exercises or lose their power to play? Why does the dancer work daily over every muscle in their body? Why do the painter, the sculptor, the writer practice their art each day and count that day lost when they do not work? And why does the dramatic artist do nothing, spend their days in coffee houses and hope for the gift of Apollo in the evening? Enough. There is no art that does not demand virtuosity.”

Один из самых красивых театров Петербурга — Александринский театр.
Особым украшением театра стало здание, построенное Карлом Росси в 1832 году. Великолепный фасад с античными колоннами и символикой муз, роскошные залы и величественная сцена сделали Александринку одной из главных архитектурных достопримечательностей Петербурга.
