The enormous outdoor theatre, designed for 20.000 spectators, was used for very diverse events. Here political rallies were held, Soviet leaders gave speeches, and themed performances and sporting events also took on a regular form. The Green Theatre also served as a cinema ground. A unique and unprecedented custom 15x17 m ‘Gigant’ cinema screen was built for it. The premiere showing of the film ‘Circus’ (Tsirk), starring Lyubov Orlova, was shown here in May 1936..
