The Mossovet Theater has issued a statement regarding the reported departure of actor Alexander Domogarov, confirming the news that circulated in press circles. In a conversation with the theater’s press service, NEWS.ru reported that Domogarov’s dismissal was formally approved by the institution, underscoring that the decision came through the theater’s official channels.
The theater’s representatives stated that Domogarov was summoned to a meeting with the artistic director, Evgeniy Marcelli. This encounter was the next step in a process the institution describes as routine for personnel matters at a large performing arts organization, where open dialogue between actors and management is encouraged to ensure clarity for all parties involved.
According to the press service, Alexander Yuryevich’s application was indeed accepted by the personnel department on that day. After inviting him to the meeting with the artistic director, the theater indicated that it would be possible to provide more comprehensive comments once the discussion concluded and all formal procedures were completed. The phrasing emphasizes a transparent approach to handling changes in the company’s creative roster and invites broader commentary only after the internal review is finished.
Earlier reports noted that Domogarov’s departure follows nearly three decades of service at the Mossovet Theater. The institution has not concealed the fact that a disagreement with the direction and policies pursued by the leadership contributed to the decision. The actor’s representatives have indicated that May 28 will be his final working day with the company, after which Domogarov will no longer appear in performances. There are plans to formalize the transition, including the handling of professional documentation by his legal counsel, to ensure an orderly handover of roles, credits, and ongoing projects.
In the broader context of theater life, such moves reflect the ongoing recalibrations that cultural institutions undertake to balance artistic vision with organizational strategies. The Mossovet Theater’s communications emphasize that decisions of this kind are guided by a combination of artistic considerations, administrative processes, and long-term planning for the company’s repertoire. While fans and colleagues may have strong opinions, the official stance remains committed to transparency, procedural fairness, and respect for all parties involved during transitional periods.
