March 7, 1901 Anton Pavlovich Chekhov told his wife, actress Olga Leonardovna Knipper: “The next play for the Art Theater, which I will write, will certainly be funny, very funny, at least by design.” “To play my future play,” Chekhov said, of course, having in mind the idea of “The Cherry Orchard,” “it is necessary musically. No rudeness. ” The premiere of “The Cherry Orchard” at the Moscow Art Theater took place on January 17, 1904, on the day of Anton Pavlovich’s name day, and after the third act, the author was honored in connection with the 25th anniversary of his literary work. It would seem that all the theaters in the world put on the Cherry Orchard, not to mention Moscow and St. Petersburg. Georgy Tovstonogov dreamed of staging this play all his life. But with a magnificent collection of actresses such as Doronin, Sharko, Makarov, Kryuchkov, Tenyakov, Emma Popov, he sighed, repeating endlessly: "I have no Ranevskaya." The most complicated, and, according to many, Chekhov’s best play, has not yet been fully resolved. “Cherry orchards” have already faded in St. Petersburg and in the Bolshoi Drama Theater, and in Alexandrinka, and in the theater of Europe. The Andrei Mironov Theater, named after the artist who so subtly and deeply played Lopakhin directed by Valentin Pluchek on the stage of the Moscow Theater of Satire in 1984, wants Chekhov's “Cherry Orchard” to take place on its stage. Blossomed. (Rudolf Furmanov, People's Artist of Russia)
