Satirikon Theatre

Moscow


Boasting one of Moscow’s most talented theatre producers, Konstantin Raikin, as well as a host of big-name directors, the Satirikon earned a reputation in the early 1990s with its outrageously expensive production of the Threepenny Opera. It has since broken its own record for expenditure with Chantecler, which featured ducks, cockerels and hens dancing on stage.
