State academic russian drama theater named after M. Gorkyi

The Gorky Theater is one of the oldest theaters in Kazakhstan. The foundations for this theater were laid way back in 1899, when it was built with funds from the city council and the merchant and arts patron Vasily Kubrin.

You must attend a performance here, especially if you love Russian drama. Since 2007 the theater has been a member of the Association of Russian Theaters, and its actors have on several occasions been awarded the Russian government’s Compatriot prize for their contribution to the development of Russian culture and art.
