Theatres for Russian tsars appeared as early as the 17th century, but only members of the Imperial family and their immediate circles could attend the performances. Empress Elizabeth of Russia issued a Decree dated 30 August 1756, to establish a public Imperial troupe. The decree united in one system several different theatre companies, already existing. The theatre was given a mansion on Vasilievsky island, which housed a troupe headed by Fyodor Volkov. Alexander Sumarokov was appointed the Director of the theatre. In 1801, the Moscow Imperial troupe appeared.
