This legendary performance produced by Evgeniy Vakhtangov in 1922  became the symbol of the theatre for years. An elegant artistic form, the flying dynamics of the action, the wealth of acting talents defined an absolute success of the performance which became the carte de visite of the theatre.

“Princess Turandot” defined the main features of theatrics: striving to combine the truth of feelings with acute spectacular form, attention to means of external expression- rhythm, plastics, gesture. It was this production which in many ways defined the improvisational style of the theatre.

The best students of Vakhtangov were involved in the performance: T. L. Mansurova, Yu. A. Zavadsky, A. A. Orochko, O. N. Basov, B. E. Zakhava, B. V. Schukin, R. N. Simonov and others. When “Princess Turandot” was shown to troop of the Moscow Academic Art Theatre, K. S. Stanislavsky admired: “For 23 years of existence of the Arts Theatre, there were not many achievements like this performance”.
