Theatre of Musical Comedy
The Lazarev House (now the Theatre of Musical Comedy) on Italian Street was designed by Yegor Sokolov. Alexander Khrenov reconstructed the building for Grand Duke Nikolai Nikolaevich (1892). The house was later acquired by a firm of innkeepers, who added an auditorium (1910). The building accommodated the Palace Theatre (from 1911) and the Theatre of Musical Comedy (from 1938).
