Riga Russian Theatre

The Mikhail Chekhov Riga Russian Theatre (Latvian: Mihaila Čehova Rīgas Krievu teātris, Russian: Рижский русский театр имени Михаила Чехова), colloquially referred to as the Russian Theatre (Latvian: Krievu teātris, Russian: Русский театр) or the RRT, is a Russian-language theatre in Riga, Latvia.

The theatre grew during the 19th century and had something of a golden age during the leadership of K.N.

During the subsequent Soviet occupation of Latvia, the theatre continued to operate, but had to adapt to the political censorship of the day.

[1] In 2006, it was named after Michael Chekhov, who spent two years in Riga (1932–1934) and influenced the Latvian theatre and performing arts.

Since the 8 January 2018, the theatre has been led by Dana Bjorka, general manager and member of the board.
