Vasily Karatygin

Vasily Karatygin

Vasily Andreevich Karatygin (1802-1853) was a leading actor of Russian Romanticism, sometimes styled the "Russian Kean".

Karatygin joined the Bolshoi Theatre in St Petersburg in 1820 and moved to the Alexandrine Theatre in 1832. He particularly excelled in the numerous productions of Shakespeare's and Schiller's plays, rivalling Moscow's Pavel Mochalov as the greatest Russian actor of his time. The two volumes of his "Memoirs" are invaluable.
