The premiere of the very first Romani…
March 1888 CE
A great success, the production will run for eighteen years.
Choruses of Ruska Roma (also known as Russian Gypsies) have existed in Moscow and Saint Petersburg throughout the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries.
Toward the end of the nineteenth century, a conductor of one of the Romani choruses, Nikolai Shishkin, had created the first ever Romani theater troupe.
The first appearance of the troupe had been in the operetta Gypsy Songs in Faces, with the main troupe of Arcadia Theater, in 1886.
The operetta will run for several years.
On April 13, 1887 the first performance of Strauss's operetta The Gypsy Baron, with Roma (Shishkin's troupe) playing the roles of Roma, had taken place in the Maly Theater.
