Theater art in Omsk developed in conjunction with other areas of art in the city, such as literary , musical and artistic .
Omsk is one of the most theatrical cities in Siberia, 14 theaters operate here [1] . This sphere is covered by the Omsk Theatrical magazine, which until 1995 was published in the format of a newspaper [2] [3] .
History
In 1761, Ivan Andreev entered the engineering team of the Omsk garrison, engaged in the Omsk bridges in the last quarter of the 18th century. He also organized amateur art activities with the support of Lieutenant-General Ivan Springer : he conducted rehearsals, staged performances. As a result, the drawing was imprinted in the history of the city as the “Opera House” [4] .
Soviet period
In the summer of 1918, whites took up the position of the Reds in the city, and most of the Soviet cultural organizations were abolished. The Soviet power was finally established in 1920, but even then the Bolsheviks often faced the apolitical or anti-Soviet mood of professional artists. During the revolution, the life of professional theaters has changed radically. Their traditions broke, they themselves were nationalized in 1920 and transferred to the departments of public education. The Arts Subdivision of the Siberian Department of National Education, in the conditions of a shortage of personnel, attempted to create an exemplary theater of an academic nature - the Sibgosoper [5] .
In August 1920, the Proletkult Siberian Organizing Bureau was created, whose seat was Omsk . Theatrical workers from the proletariat studied in the studio of Omsk Proletkult. When the bureau organized the First Working Theater, whose actors were recruited among fans, and which after some time was transformed into the Experimental Revolutionary Theater (Ekrevte). On September 11, 1920, the All-Siberian Congress of Art Workers was held in Omsk, the delegates of which were mainly theater-goers [5] .
However, the material difficulties of the first years of the NEP had a bad effect on many cultural institutions of Siberia . Withdrawn from the state budget, they were mainly closed due to lack of funding. Already in February 1922, the Omsk Proletkult was closed, and with it its theater Ekrevte [5] .
Some entertainment enterprises were leased to private individuals, and the created theater management under political education should take care of their financial condition, provide work during the season, staff the troupes, prepare the premises and distribute tickets. In 1923, the economic and cultural institutions belonged to both public utilities and leasing private owners, among which were the former Siberian cinema monopolists Kaplun and Donotello. In rented theaters it was forbidden to show “pornographic and counter-revolutionary things”, and in theaters owned by political education, the repertoire was supposed to be exclusively educational, to serve the workers and the Red Army men . The majority of theaters, forced to achieve self-sufficiency, shifted the focus on the sold plays, which had not the highest artistic quality [5] .
In the second half of the 1920s, the number of melodramatic performances in theaters decreased. In the Omsk Theater, the season 1927/1928 was held under the motto “Art to the masses!”, And twenty-one productions (out of twenty-five) were dedicated to modernity. The season began and ended with the play by K. Trenev “ Love of Spring ”. The repertoire of the theater included “Storm” by V. Bill-Belotserkovsky and “ Armored train 14-69 ”. Ivanova [5] .
