Artists played performances not only in their city, but also went on tour. The repertoire included vaudeville, comedies, as well as performances, staged according to the plays of N. V. Gogol and V. Shakespeare.
In 1845, the city government turned togovernment with a request that they be allocated money to build a building for the theater. But this did not happen. The theater was built, but citizens raised money for this. In November 1866, the first performance took place. For 20 years, the theater had two troupes. One is the opera house in which artists from Italy worked. The second is dramatic, in which actors from Russia served. The Italian troupe consisted of 100 artists. In Russian there were 20 actors.
