In the article we will talk about the children's puppet theater. The eagle is famous for them far beyond the region.

Acquaintance. History

Orel Puppet Theater was formed in September 1943, immediately after the liberation of the city from the Nazi invaders. The legend was the first performance given by the actors of the newly created theater, the fairy tale "By the Pike's Command".

Orlovtsy, who dedicated himself to the art of animating dolls on stage, was not easily written. In the post-war years the theater did not have a permanent place for a long time. In winter, artists huddled in various clubs, and in the summer traveled to Russian cities, speaking to the public in improvised scenes. Only in 1948 the puppet theater (Eagle) got its own building and even shook the car-lorry for trips. From that moment, life gradually began to improve.

Over the years, the puppet theater (the Eagle) was getting stronger and stronger. His poster was full of new performances. The repertoire has significantly expanded. There were bright performances with a rich musical and light decoration.

In 1994 the theater moved to the House of Builders, where it is located today. On the facade of the building hang a miracle clock, which is called a special landmark of the city. Every hour a wonderful melody sounds in them and the characters of children's fairy tales appear: The Cat in Boots, Pinocchio, Malvina and Pierrot. In 2001, on the second floor of the building, by the efforts of the artist of the theater Zhmakina Lyubov, a magic corner appeared where children are waiting for their favorite heroes: Thumbelina, Snow White and seven gnomes, three bears and other characters.
