About the event
Have you ever heard of Countess Amalie Adlerberg - wife of Count Nikolay Adlerberg, who was the founder of Alexander Theatre?
She was said to be one of the most beautiful women and she has thrilled the hearts of many remarkable men: Fyodor Tyutchev, Alexander Pushkin, Count Alexander von Benckendorff and even His Majesty Nicholas I of Russia himself.
In 1866–81 Amalie lived in Helsinki, together with her second husband Nikolay Adlerberg, during his service as a Governor-General of Finland. And those are the years when the Russian Theatre of Helsingfors was established and Alexander Theatre was built.
