October 12, 2000. The Pyotr Tschaikovsky Concert Hall, one of the best in Moscow, marks its 60th anniversary today. This story started in 1901. At that time, in a three-storey building at the corner of Triumfalnaya Square and Tverskaya Street a Comedy Theatre was opened. Then this building housed a theatre of a light genre - Zon. After the revolution there was a theatre there where Vsevolod Meyerhold worked. It existed for ten years. After the arrest of the producer and his death the unfinished building was transferred to the Moscow Philharmonic Society. The opening of the new Concert Hall on October 12, 1940 coincided with the 100th anniversary of the birth of Pyotr Tschaikovsky in whose honour it was named. The Tschaikovsky Concert Hall gives symphony concerts and theatre, ballet and choral performances. Not the first generation of Muscovites have been visiting this concert hall. Many of them bring their children there. Photo by Olga Makarova from the Sputnik Images Fund. DP82-1633.
