The Mikhail Chekhov Riga Russian Theatre, founded in 1883, is a real cultural highlight in Riga and the oldest Russian-language theatre outside Russia. A building with history and atmosphere that reflects both Latvia's turbulent past and the complexity of Russian theatre art. Originally known as the Riga Russian Drama Theatre, it was renamed in 2006 after Mikhail Chekhov, one of the most influential actors and directors of the 20th century, who worked here between 1932 and 1934. His ideas about art and culture had a lasting impact on the local theatre scene.
