The Estonian Russian Theater has celebrated its anniversary, Sputnik reports. This year, its artistic group turns 70 years old. In honor of the date, the actors have prepared a great performance. It has been divided into seven parts, by the number of decades the theater has existed. Each part contained stories about performances and actors, and about time, which was not only the background for a theatrical play but also an active performer itself.
Friends, colleagues from other theaters and Estonian officials came to congratulate the theater. The first of them was Estonian Prime-Minister Jüri Ratas. He reminded that this year Estonia was also celebrating the centenary anniversary of statehood. According to the Ratas, it was very important that the theater focused attention on the relations between the two communities - Russian-speaking and Estonian-speaking. On this stage, they speak one common language - the language of art.
The Prime Minister thanked the theater staff for its contribution to the development of the country.
The head of the Russian diplomatic mission in Tallinn, Alexander Petrov also congratulated the theater.
