Age restrictions
The Albatross Puppet Theater recommends that parents bring their children to performances from the age of three. Many mothers and fathers believe that their child is able to watch the production with enthusiasm even at the age of 1 year. But the artists believe that they should not bring very young children. Due to their age, it is very difficult for kids to focus their attention on anything for more than 20 minutes. Even though artists use various techniques during performances to relax children, give them rest and shift their attention away from the plot of the play, it is difficult to convey the meaning to children. In addition, many theater performances are interactive, the artists communicate with the audience, and for children under three years old many words may not be understood.
Such small spectators take everything seriously. If they see, for example, a fox doll that is moving, they mistake it for a living animal, which can cause them to get scared and cry. The decision about whether to take a child to a performance or not is made only by the parents. But the theater appeals to parents with a request to take into account the age of their children.
The Albatross Puppet Theater is distinguished by a small chamber hall in which there are no numbered seats. This is done for the convenience of small viewers. When parents and children come to the hall, they are helped to choose suitable seats. The first rows are reserved for children so that no adult blocks their view. Parents are invited to sit in the back. There are times when a child refuses to sit alone without mom and dad. Such families are seated together in the central rows. Thus, nothing will prevent children from enjoying the performance, and their impressions of the fairy tale will not be spoiled. The cost of tickets to the Albatross Theater is 700 rubles on weekdays and 1000 on weekends.
In the hall of the children's puppet theater there are 80 seats, which are divided into 3 main zones:
- the first rows are designed only for children;
- seats in the middle are reserved for parents with children;
- at the end of the stalls there are seats for parents, whose children sit in the front rows.
This is quite convenient, because the seats are not numbered and everyone can sit in the place where it will be more comfortable. The stage is designed in such a way that every spectator can enjoy the performance, regardless of the chosen place. Face painting services are available in the lobby. There is also a small buffet that is filled with visitors during the intermission between acts. In addition to performances of fairy tales, New Year's parties are held here. Discounts are provided for large families.

Children's theater "Albatross" in Moscow
In 1996 V.K. Mikhitarov, Honored Artist of Russia, actor of the Puppet Theater named after S.V. Obraztsova, founded a children's school in Moscow puppet theater"Albatross". Almost two decades have passed since then, but the theater has not become “adult”, and little spectators are still welcome within its walls.
The Albatross Puppet Theater welcomes its audience at every performance with a very small, cozy hall and a friendly, almost homely atmosphere. Even before the performance begins, the actors will introduce the kids to the dolls - the future heroes of the play, and after the performance the children will have the opportunity to see them up close.
Puppet theater performances are not just an exciting stage performance, because each performance is a real interactive game, in which all the kids are skillfully involved.
In the hall of the puppet theater there are no seats marked with a number on the ticket, and the stage is located at eye level of the audience. This is done so that both children and adults, regardless of their height and age, have the opportunity to see and hear what is happening on stage equally well. When allocating seats, theater staff also take into account the fact that the youngest visitors sometimes refuse to sit without their parents.
“Albatross” is a children’s theater, therefore the repertoire is built accordingly, that is, the main spectators of the performances are ladies and gentlemen from three to twelve years old. This age interval is due to certain reasons. As a rule, adults visit Albatross, a puppet theater in Moscow, with no less pleasure than children. But, unfortunately, it is impossible to say the same about teenagers aged 13–16 years: during the period of personality formation, the child is more focused on himself than on surrounding phenomena. Therefore, it will take some time for children to become adults and again feel the taste for a theatrical fairy tale. And for children under three years old, attending performances is not recommended due to physiological characteristics: it will be difficult for very young spectators to keep their attention on the stage action. In addition, very young children take what is happening very “seriously” and the wolf on stage for a too young viewer is a living and scary beast. That's why management children's theater“Albatross” recommends that parents postpone their visit until the time when the performance can bring the most positive emotions to both the adult and the child.
