The Hermitage Municipal Theatre ((ロシア語:Муниципальный театр «Эрмитаж»)) is the only Municipal Theatre in Tula, Russia. ==History and overview== The Hermitage Municipal Theatre was opened in 1972 under the name of "Near Tolstoy's Outpost", and it was not until 1992 that it was given its Municipal status. Until then it existed on a voluntary basis and was treated like an amateur studio. Spectators called it "Belov's Studio", after the name of its first leader Alexander Belov, whose outstanding personality and creativity made the theatre enormously famous among the citizens of Tula.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Hermitage Municipal Theatre official website )〕 The 'Near Tolstoy's Outpost' theatre troop consisted mainly of young energetic people, who acted brilliantly in such challenging productions as Shakespeare's ''Romeo and Juliette'', and Rostand's ''Cyrano de Bergerac''.〔 In 1998 the theatre faced dramatic changes. Its old building was lost in a fire, after which Belov left his post and many of the actors moved away from Tula to perform in the theatres of Moscow, Saint-Petersburg and Riga. In 2006 the theatre was granted a new building by the Culture Department of Tula. Though it is now situated far away from the city centre, numerous opening nights, festivals, events and other special occasions gather a wide audience.〔 In 2010 the theatre was renamed The Hermitage (from the French ''hermitage'', a distant chapel) partly because of its far-away location. The Hermitage Municipal theatre is now reviving its fame by staging unusual plays and performances, including festivals and carnivals on the Tula city streets and central squares, as well as exhibitions, competitions and charitable shows for children and adults.〔〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Culture Revolution at the Hermitage )〕 The Hermitage Municipal Theatre has toured in Novorossiysk, Ekaterinburg, Lipetsk, Saint Petersburg and Moscow.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Hermitage Municipal Theatre (Tula)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
