The Zankovetskaya Theatre is the first Ukraine national theatre established under the Central Council in Kiev in 1917. It was founded by the most prominent cultural figures. The Theatre's company was based on the Folk Theatre headed by Panas Saksagansky. Alexander Korolchuk and Boris Romanitsky took the lead of the Theatre. They studied from Maria Zankovetskaya who was a living legend in her time. The most famous directors including Panas Saksagansky, Oles Kurbas and Alexander Zagarov were invited to see the Theatre's productions.
In 1923, the 40th anniversary year of the Maria Zankovetskaya's stage life, the Theatre was named after her.
The Zankovetskaya First Ukraine National Drama Theatre became popular and won spectators' favour while being on tours in Ukrainian cities and villages in 1923. Then, its creative concept appeared that has been imperishable for many decades and proved by the enormous repertoire and artistic achievements.
The Theatre's credo — profound national meaning and world-class culture — has never been betrayed.
During World War II, the Theatre worked in Siberian cities: Tobolsk, Omsk, and Novokuznetsk. Two Theatre's brigades performed in the lines for advanced force soldiers.
After moving to Lviv in 1944, a new page in the Theatre's biography was opened. The unique cultural aura of Lviv made the Theatre's company to bring about something inimitable. They managed to combine the best samples of the Galician and East Ukrainian Drama Schools and create a new type of an actor. A number of classical and contemporary productions were staged in the Theatre.
The Theatre was a centre of the Lviv cultural life in the 1960s, the Khrushchev Thaw years, and during the Stagnation Period ideological repressions of the 1970s and 1980s as well as in the years of competition for the Ukraine federal status renewal.
The Theatre's company is interested in extremely wide repertoire: from classical and national literature, the contemporary Ukrainian and foreign drama to the names forbidden in different years and little-known productions.
