How to get to the State Kremlin Palace

The status of the main Russian theater and concert venue ensures the Kremlin Palace, first of all, its location on the territory of the residence of the President of the Russian Federation in the Kremlin. GKD is located at st. Vozdvizhenka, 1 in the center of Moscow. You can get to it by ground and underground transport.

How to get to the State Kremlin Palace from the metro

To get to the State Kremlin Palace, you should get off at the intersection of four metro lines at Aleksandrovsky Sad, Borovitskaya, Arbatskaya or Biblioteka im. Lenin.

When leaving the metro, follow the signs. On Borovitskaya you should go to the exit to the Russian State Library, on the street. Mokhovaya. Once on the street, turn left, walk to the monument to F.M.

Having gone down into it, walk along the passage straight to the stalls, turn right and further - until the end of the passage to the exit to the Aleksandrovsky Garden.

When you exit at the Arbatskaya metro station, follow the sign to st. Mokhovaya, to the State Kremlin Palace. Leaving the station Library im. Lenin, be guided by the signs for the transition to the blue metro line and exit to the city on the street. Mokhovaya.

At the exit from the stations Arbatskaya, Aleksandrovsky Sad, Library named after Lenin, you will find yourself in the underground lobby. A long tunnel from it leads to the Alexander Garden. If you find it difficult to navigate when exiting the metro, you can ask passers-by how to get from the metro to the Kremlin Palace.

Scheme of the hall of the Kremlin Palace

The halls of the Great Kremlin Palace regularly gather thousands of audiences at concerts, shows and performances. The layout of the Kremlin Palace includes a spacious Concert Hall, which is second only to the Olympic sports complex (11 thousand seats) and the Luzhniki Sports Palace (7 thousand seats) in terms of the number of seats. On its stage, large-scale events and grandiose performances of domestic music performers and world stars are held.

The concert hall of the State Kremlin Palace is designed for 6,000 spectators. The stage, equipped with the latest technology, is the largest in the country, with an area of ​​450 sq. M.

Before purchasing tickets, you should familiarize yourself with the layout of the Kremlin Palace hall in order to choose convenient seats. The VIP parterre, installed between the stage and the parterre, has 4 rows. The parterre consists of 16 sectors and is divided into rows from 1 to 20 and from 21 to 43. On the left, right and behind, the parterre is surrounded by an amphitheater. It starts at the level of the front rows of the parterre. On the balcony there are boxes and 17 rows of seats for spectators.

In the former Kremlin Palace of Congresses, there is also a Reception Hall (Small Hall), where chamber concerts, performances by jazz and classical music performers are held.

The State Kremlin Palace has long been the main concert venue in the country, and is not going to give up its place either in the near or in the distant future. Together with the Great Hall, which can accommodate 6,000 spectators, the audience is invited to the Small and Diplomatic Halls, whose opening expanded the possibilities of the Palace.

It would seem that one location in the Kremlin, in the very center of Moscow, is enough for success, but this is not the only advantage.

Today, not everyone will remember that once it was the KDS - the Kremlin Palace of Congresses. And even the color of the chairs - now blue - does not remind of the past.

The State Kremlin Palace was built in 1961 in 16 months - in the shortest possible time for those times. Built primarily for mass social and political events, the Kremlin Palace became the venue for party and trade union forums in the 60s - 80s. The XXII - XXVII Congresses of the CPSU were held within its walls. The first congresses of deputies were held here. In 1992, by the Decree of the President of the Russian Federation, the Kremlin Palace of Congresses (CDC) was transformed into the State Kremlin Palace (GKD). Today the Kremlin Palace is under the jurisdiction of the Administrative Department of the President of the Russian Federation.

As a theater and concert venue, from the first days of its operation, it was placed at the disposal of the Bolshoi Theater of the USSR as a second stage. For decades, the Kremlin Palace hosted opera and ballet performances of the current repertoire, and premieres of the Academic Bolshoi Theater of the USSR were produced with the participation of its outstanding soloists and orchestra. In addition, legendary singing and dancing groups began to perform on the stage of the State Kremlin Palace with success.

The “visiting card” of the Great Hall is large-scale music shows, performances by the stars of the first magnitude, ballet performances, film premieres, circus performances. There is no venue more prestigious, and without a concert in the Kremlin, the artist cannot be considered a real star.

This applies primarily to pop stars, although the technical reconstruction of the Palace made this stage attractive to the world's most famous and popular stars. In the hall, which can accommodate almost 6 thousand spectators, the sound system meets the most modern and high international standards, and the latest lighting equipment has been installed. That is why the world's leading musicians perform in the Great Hall of the State Kremlin Palace, traditionally making extremely high demands on sound quality.

As part of the cycle of the Honored Art Worker of Russia Galina Preobrazhenskaya "Stars of the Romansiada" in the Kremlin, we continue to acquaint viewers with the work of the winners of this famous Russian romance competition. On October 12, one of the brightest modern baritones, Dmitry Zuev, will show his new program in the Diplomatic Hall.

This name is well known, first of all, to fans of opera art: Dmitry Zuev is one of the leading soloists of the Stanislavsky and Nemirovich-Danchenko Musical Academic Theater, incomparable Onegin, Bolkonsky, Figaro, Don Juan ...

All the parties are countless, because Dmitry appears both at the Mariinsky Theater and on many opera stages around the world - his magnificent voice, spectacular stage appearance, rare plasticity and performing intelligence make Dmitry a noticeable figure in modern opera.

But even in the concert genre, the appearance of Dmitry Zuev is not an accident - the Moscow public remembered his programs of romances by Tchaikovsky and Rachmaninoff, chamber music of the Baroque, songs dedicated to the Great Victory and collections of the most beautiful songs of Naples. And, of course, it is no coincidence that in April 2019 Dmitry Zuev easily and brilliantly won a new victory and became the owner of the Grand Prix of the Russian romance competition "Big Romansida".

On October 12, the exquisite and cozy stage of the Diplomatic Hall will give us the opportunity to hear our hero in a variety of musical genres and images, because Dmitry's range of creative interests is wide and diverse. His colleagues and mentors will come to support Dmitry; and you, my friends, will meet a wonderful young artist, for whom singing means living. "Cantate per la vita"!
