Kamenny Island Theatre

Kamenny Island Theatre

The Kamenny Island Theatre (Russian: Каменноостровский театр, Kamennoostrovsky teatr) is a wooden summer theatre on the grounds of the Kamennoostrovsky Palace, Kamenny Island, Saint Petersburg, Russia.

The theatre was built in 1826 to a design by Smaragd Shustov in 40 days. It was intended that building will be reliable for at least seven years, however 180 years later it is still in a fine condition.

Two operas of a famous Neapolitan composer Giovanni Paisiello (1740 – 1816), were premiered at Kamenny Ostrov (before this theatre was built):
*"Il matrimonio inaspettato" ("La contadina di spirito", 1779 Kamenny Ostrov)
*"Il mondo della luna" (1782 Kamenny Ostrov).
