The Moscow Art Theatre (the Theatre, for short) was founded in 1898, by Konstantin Stanislavsky and Vladimir Nemirovich-Danchenko. In 1919, it was renamed the Moscow Academic Art Theatre. The Theatre was opened on 14 October 1898 with a premiere of Tsar Fyodor Ioannovich, a historical drama by Aleksey Tolstoy, in the building of the Hermitage Theatre at 3 Karetniy Ryad Street. Since 1902, the Theatre has been situated in Kamergersky Lane in a building of the former Lianozov Theatre that was rebuilt the same year by architect Fyodor Schechtel. A meeting of Konstantin Stanislavsky and Vladimir Nemirovich-Danchenko, the founders of the Theatre, in the Slavyansky Bazar Restaurant on 19 June 1897 is considered to be the start of the Theatre. It was not very long after that the Theatre was named the Art Public Theatre. As early as 1901, the word "public" was omitted from the name. The Theatre still focused on a democratic spectator though.
