Concert hall. Concert Hall named after P
Concert Hall named after P. I. Tchaikovsky, located on Triumfalnaya Square - one of the largest concert halls in Russia. This is the main concert venue of the Moscow Philharmonic, with a capacity of 1505 seats.
Creative life on the site of the modern building began in the early years of the twentieth century. It was here that since 1901 the theater "Buff-miniatures" of the French entrepreneur Charles Aumont was located, later - the theater of the light genre Zon, and after the revolution - the Theater of the RSFSR. In 1922, the building was transferred to TIM - the Vsevolod Meyerhold Theater. For 10 years, Meyerhold's famous performances were staged here: Mayakovsky's Mystery Buff, The Inspector General, Woe to Wit (based on A. Griboyedov's comedy Woe from Wit) and others. In 1932, TIM moved to the premises of the current theater named after Yermolova, and a serious restructuring and reconstruction began in the building on Triumfalnaya Square to convert it into a concert hall. In 1940, the interior decoration was completed. Architects D. N. Chechulin and K. K. Orlov, who led the work on the restructuring of the building, generally retained the previous layout. In the newly opened hall, an old organ of the German company "E. F. Valker ”, which was previously located in St. Petersburg in the Cathedral of Saints Peter and Paul on Nevsky Prospekt (in the 1860s of the 19th century, P. I. Tchaikovsky played it).
The opening of a new concert hall of the Moscow Philharmonic, named after P. I. Tchaikovsky, was timed to coincide with the 100th anniversary of the composer's birth. On October 12, 1940, the USSR State Symphony Orchestra conducted by Alexander Gauk and Konstantin Ivanov performed the Sixth Symphony, "Francesca da Rimini", the 1st movement of the First Piano Concerto, arias from operas and romances. Already the first philharmonic season in the Tchaikovsky Concert Hall brought the hall all-Union fame.
During the years of the Great Patriotic War Philharmonic life did not stop. The concerts went on despite the state of siege in Moscow, sometimes even to the sound of an air raid siren (there was a bomb shelter in the basement of the KZCh, where listeners descended during Nazi air raids). The hall was hardly heated, but the artists always performed only in concert costumes. Eyewitnesses remember two unique concerts in the autumn of 1941: one - on the roof of the building, for anti-aircraft gunners, the other - on the platform of the Mayakovskaya metro station after a solemn meeting dedicated to the 24th anniversary of the October Revolution. During the war, more than 1,000 concerts were held here. The events were attended by over 2 million spectators.
After the war, in addition to musicians of the academic direction, stage masters, dramatic actors, and dance groups began to perform in the Tchaikovsky Concert Hall. All-Union competitions of choreographers and ballet dancers and even international chess tournaments were held here, and in 1947 the film "The First Glove" was filmed. More and more concerts began to be given in the hall foreign performers: almost all world musical celebrities who toured in our country performed here. Since 1962, auditions of the International Tchaikovsky Competition have been held on the stage of the Philharmonic Hall.
In 1950, a stucco image of the USSR Emblem was erected over the stage of the hall - a variant with 16 ribbons (according to the number of union republics that were then part of the USSR). Nowadays, the audience of the P. I. Tchaikovsky Concert Hall has the opportunity to see the old “Stalinist” coat of arms - an interior decoration and a reminder of the past.
An important event of the 1958-1959 season. was the opening of a new organ built specifically for the P. I. Tchaikovsky Hall by the Czechoslovak firm Rieger-Kloss. The initiator of its subsequent reconstructions in 1970 and 1977 was the soloist of the Moscow Philharmonic, an outstanding musician and educator G. Grodberg.
At the beginning of the 21st century, the hall began to position itself as the main concert venue of the Moscow Philharmonic. About 300 concerts a year are held here, which are attended by more than 350 thousand Muscovites and guests of the capital. The palette of concerts and festivals held by the Moscow Philharmonic has become much wider and more diverse. It was the Tchaikovsky Hall that became the venue for the exclusive cycles of the Moscow Philharmonic, including "Opera Masterpieces", "Great Oratorios", "European Virtuosos in Moscow", "World Opera Stars in Moscow" and a number of others. Concerts of festivals dedicated to the 175th anniversary of P. I. Tchaikovsky (2015), to the 110th anniversary of the birth of Dmitry Shostakovich (2016), to the 85th anniversary of Rodion Shchedrin (2017) were held here.
In the 2004-2005 season. restoration work was carried out in the hall, after which the spatial concept of the hall changed: now you can easily dismantle the stalls and place the orchestra in this place, freeing the stage for opera performances. Thus, the "opera movement" was launched on the renovated stage of the KZCh.
2008 turned out to be an important year in the modern history of the Tchaikovsky Concert Hall. At this time, the acoustics of the hall were significantly improved (special acoustic shields were installed); work began on restoring the historical appearance of the foyer. During the restoration process, a marble floor was discovered and restored, which had been preserved since the 1930s, and subsequently "hidden" under the ceilings of a later time.
Equipping the foyer with electronic monitors has become a sign of the newest times, on which you can get acquainted with posters of future events, as well as watch broadcasts of concerts.
