“Dzhigarkhanyan himself is to blame for everything!”

The Moscow police opened a criminal case after the appeal of the theater and film actor Armen Dzhigarkhanyan, who announced the theft of his passport. About it RIA News said a law enforcement source.

Armen Dzhigarkhanyan himself, who announced his intention to divorce Vitalina Tsymbalyuk-Romanovskaya, who served as director of his theater, promised that he would invite back everyone who last years was fired or quit because of Vitalina.

“This woman has broken firewood in the theater, I intend to correct the situation,” the master made a statement.

Have you been asked to return yet? - we asked Dana Nazarova a question. The actress, who had served at the Dzhigarkhanyan Theater for eight years, parted ugly - she gave birth to a child, and the contract was not renewed with her.

Until they called. I will not go to Armen Borisovich with this question. I feel uncomfortable, he has a lot of problems without me now, including health problems. But if he himself or the new director is invited, I will certainly return to the theater with pleasure.

The people's artist himself now assures that his wife hid from him almost all information about the true state of affairs in the theater. About the dismissed artists (to whom she literally pointed to the door) she said that they were leaving of their own free will.

For example, about the favorite of Armen Borisovich, Alexei Shevchenkova, she said that he intended to go to Oleg Tabakov. Dzhigarkhanyan was terribly angry with his artists, considered them traitors ...

But I didn’t understand what was happening: earlier, Armen Borisovich said that I was a wonderful artist, one of the best in his theater, he called me “baby” - and suddenly the contract was not renewed. Now I understand that he simply did not know what was really happening, he was given distorted information, - says Nazarova.

Why does she need all this? It’s very simple: to reduce the troupe and instead of dramatic performances put on their own, musical ones, which Vitalina did. After all, every performance is an income, - says another dismissed Tsymbalyuk-Romanovskaya, costume designer Margarita Cheres.

She, unlike Nazarova, does not intend to return to the Dzhigarkhanyan Theater. Even if they beg.

I serve in a very worthy place - the Musical Theater. And happy!

They act in films, play in entreprises and are generally satisfied with their lives by former artists of the troupe: Alexei Shevchenkov, Elena Ksenofontova, Stas Duzhnikov, and many others. Will they return? Unlikely.

Armen Borisovich himself is to blame for everything, - Margarita Cheres believes. - He was told, and intelligent people, that Vitalina is deceiving. But he waved it off. He renounced all those who faithfully served him for many years. And now comes the payback.

Meanwhile, the inside of the theater split in two. Some support the ex-director, assuring that "she did everything for the theater and for the sake of Armen Borisovich." Others hiss that "that's how it should be: there was nothing to intrigue."

Today it became known about the raider seizure of the building of the Moscow drama theater. As Elina Mazur, the representative of the spouse of the People's Artist of the USSR Armen Dzhigarkhanyan, told the 360 TV channel, the theater was seized by the "Armenian group". All management has been removed, accounting has been seized, and Dzhigarkhanyan himself "sits locked in his office without telephones." The representative of Dzhigarkhanyan's wife did not provide other details.

Martha Cheremnova.

Despite its rather young age and the youth of the troupe members, the Dzhigarkhanyan Theater confidently and firmly wins the favor of the audience with its complex but vivid performances. Even the most experienced artists consider the works of Bulgakov, Pushkin and Moliere to be very difficult, but the actors, led by maestro Armen Dzhigarkhanyan, easily embody the images of classical characters on stage. Together with these world-famous plays, the theater plays performances based on writers such as Beckett and Vampilov. The youth and enthusiasm of the artists, combined with the colossal creative experience and life wisdom of the founder of this temple, Melpomene, allow such a diverse repertoire to successfully exist.

From the historical past of the Theater "D"

The Dzhigarkhanyan Theater (its address is Lomonosovsky Prospekt, 17) often tours other Russian cities. Over the 20 years of its existence, the troupe has visited such settlements as Saratov, St. Petersburg, Cherepovets, Lipetsk, Perm and others. Artists also visited countless cities of the Moscow region.

Initially, the Dzhigarkhanyan Theater was called the Theater "D". It was founded in the early spring of 1996. The base of the then troupe was made up of VGIK graduates, whose course was led by Armen Borisovich. Then the institution was located in a tiny, located on Cooperative Street, a room with a small auditorium. The first dramatization of the troupe was Professor Dzhigarkhanyan's one-man performance "Krapp's Last Tape" based on S. Beckett. Then there were premieres of such performances as "Twelfth Night, or As You Like", "But the Theater Lives!", "Mozart and Salieri" and others. The repertoire of the institution also included performances for children, for example, “ Good country Australia" and "Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves".

This is a very versatile repertoire, which even venerable theaters are not always able to master. But the young troupe successfully realized the difficult task that was set before them. The performances gained unprecedented success both with the public and critics, and Dzhigarkhanyan himself showed himself as an unusually talented teacher.

Troupe under the direction of Gazarov

Armen Borisovich invited Sergey Gazarov to his theater in 1998 for the position of chief director. Together, during the 1998-1999 season, they almost completely renewed the troupe. So, of the artists who "opened" the institution, today only Pyotr Stupin and Alexei Shevchenkov remain. Also to this day, the “first” sound engineer, Mrs. Gridneva, and the head of the costume department, Margarita Cheres, work. The leading actors from the "second set" are now V. Kapustin, Yu. Anpilogov, A. Bukharov, D. Nadtochiy and A. Annenkov. The basis of the modern repertoire was laid by the play "The Government Inspector" based on the play by Nikolai Gogol. The performance was directed by S. Gazarov.

In the 1999-2000 season, the Dzhigarkhanyan Theater was replenished with such artists as S. Eventov, E. Ksenofontova, V. Chetkov, E. Medvedeva, I. Gordienko and A. Bashenkova. At this time, the play "Return Home" was released, in which Dzhigarkhanyan played the main role, and the children's production of "Tales of the Learned Cat". The release of the latter was handled by Alexei Kiryushchenko. The following season, Gazarov resigns as chief director.

Moving to a new building

The theater of Armen Dzhigarkhanyan by 2002 was already an incredibly successful institution. In November of this year, the Melpomene temple moves to a new building. It is located in one of the most picturesque areas of the Russian capital - on the Sparrow Hills. This building used to house a theater called "Progress". In the new premises, the theater under the direction of the star is able to accommodate a much larger number of spectators. After all, five thousand people can fit here.

Together with the large premises, the Armen Dzhigarkhanyan Theater got the opportunity to make its repertoire more extensive. Now, in addition to popular dramatic performances, the public has the opportunity to enjoy the wonderful vaudeville "And the theater lives!". There are also performances for young viewers.

What's on in the theatre?

The Dzhigarkhanyan Theatre, whose playbill is extremely diverse, has a main and a small stage. At the first of them, viewers can watch performances such as "Vassa", "Queen of Beauty", "The Theater of the Times of Nero and Seneca", "Joan of Arc - White crow”,“ Nameless Star ”and many others.

The following masterpieces are staged on the small stage: "Poem of Love", "Sophia", "And this is not funny ...", "Molly", "Theater ... Eternal Love" and other productions.

Children's dramatizations

The Dzhigarkhanyan Theatre, whose playbill also includes children's plays, deeply respects its young viewers. That is why he prepares work for them. So, among the children's repertoire there are such productions as "Children's Scenes", "Tales of the Scientist Cat", "The Extraordinary Adventures of Little Red Riding Hood", "The Ugly Duckling", "Twelve Months" and a number of other works.

March 12, 1996: On the basis of a group of graduates of the VGIK course of Armen Dzhgarkhanyan, by the Decree of the Committee on Culture of the Government of Moscow, the Moscow Drama Theater was created under the direction of Armen Dzhigarkhanyan (originally under the name "Theatre" D ").
The theater gets a room on Kooperativnaya street with a tiny hall for 96 seats. Armen Dzhigarkhanyan's one-man show Krapp's Last Tape by S. Beckett was transferred to this stage, the premieres of Twelfth Night, or As You Like by W. Shakespeare (both performances directed by Krikor Azaryan), Kazakin, or Kamzol from Mascaril by J. Molière were released (staged by Karen Nersisyan), “...But the theater lives on!” (based on the vaudeville “Lev Gurych Sinichkin” by A. Lensky and A. Bondi, directed by Vlad Druzhinin), “Mozart and Salieri” by A. Pushkin (directed by Valery Sarkisov), two children's performances.
An appeal to the classics, to the plays of Moliere, Bulgakov, Vampilov, to the immortal "Little Tragedies" by A.S. Pushkin, even for venerable theaters, is sometimes a difficult task. Therefore, the success of the young theater was so noticeable, which created such a diverse and significant repertoire in a short time: "Little Tragedies" by A.S. Pushkin, "Kazakin or Kamzol from Mascaril" J.B. Molière, "Twelfth Night" by W. Shakespeare, "The Last Tape of Krapp" by S. Beckett, "Good People" by A. Vampilov, vaudeville "Lev Gurych Sinichkin", children's performances "Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves" and "Good Country Australia" . The most valuable thing in this undoubted success is the fact that all the work was carried out relying only on our own strengths and resources. Armen Dzhigarkhanyan, having also shown himself to be a talented teacher, gave a "start in life" to many young actors.
On November 23, 2002, in one of the most picturesque districts of the capital - on Sparrow Hills - the doors of the theater were hospitably opened at a new address: Lomonosovsky Prospekt, Building 17 (Progress cinema), with a hall for 500 seats.
The theater under the direction of Armen Dzhigarkhanyan tours a lot. The geography of tours is wide: Perm and Yekaterinburg, Cherepovets and Saratov, Kaluga and St. Petersburg, Kostroma and Yaroslavl, Lipetsk, Murmansk and numerous cities of the Moscow region.

Divorce scandal involving famous actor and artistic director own theater of 82-year-old Armen Dzhigarkhanyan and his current wife, 38-year-old Vitalina Tsymbalyuk-Romanovskaya, it would seem, began recently. Until recently, she was the general director of this theater, and even, as she herself admitted in a TV show, success appeared under her leadership, debts were reduced.

It turned out that back in 2011, newspapermen "took the fly" at Vitalina.

"Dzhigarkhanyan's favorite keeps the whole theater at bay," they wrote in the press six years ago. And she tirelessly fought for the attention of the figure. As the man got used to his passion, the demands of the girl also increased.

As you know, the owner of the sonorous surname Tsymbalyuk-Romanovskaya came to conquer the capital of Russia from Ukraine. Initially, she taught at the Jewish Academy named after Maimonides at the Faculty of World musical culture, and then director Vladimir Yachmenev recommended her to the Dzhigarkhanyan Theater.

Vitalina quickly achieved great influence on the artistic director, which is why everyone's favorite artists lost their jobs: Alexander Bukharov, Andrei Merzlikin, Alexei Shevchenkov and his wife Olga, Vladimir Kapustin and Valentin Samokhin, Olga Prikhudaylova and, finally, Stanislav Duzhnikov, wrote "Mir24 ".

Later, the media wrote that because of Vitalina, many actors left or were fired. She allegedly gave the main roles to her friend Oksana Golubeva, and she not so long ago said something out of place and was also fired.

The last loss of the theater is the actress Elena Ksenofontova, the prima who held the repertoire.

Ulyana Chilindina, who left because of Tsymbalyuk-Romanovskaya, starred in several popular TV series and films - Indigo, Yarik, Love as Love, Kukotsky's Case.

The star of the series "Eighties" Natalya Zemtsova also left of her own free will, but according to rumors, she was fired for being too beautiful.

Alexey Shevchenkov served in the Theater from 1997 to 2010 under the direction of Armen Dzhigarkhanyan. Since 2010, he moved to the Moscow Art Theater. Chekhov.

Stanislav Duzhnikov became famous in a number of films, but especially in the STS sitcom Voronins, which got into the Guinness Book of Records.

Andrey Merzlikin in 2001-2011 was an actor of the Moscow Drama Theater under the direction of Armen Dzhigarkhanyan. Played 108 roles in movies and TV shows.
