.....................................................................10 2 Introduction I choose this topic because I want to get know more about local Theatres I hoped to get more information about their location, for whom each theatre is designed and a little overview about their history. The history of Estonian theatre does not differ much from that of the neighbor countries. The first play was performed in the 16th century at the Tallinn Town Hall. The town school children, who were Germans, staged Terence's The Andria in Latin. The first theatre house in Tallinn was mentioned in written materials which date from the late 17th century; the house was used by travelling theatre groups. Tallinn was already known then as a theatre-loving city.
Holidays, Festivals, Cultural events TALLINN - If you're looking for entertainment in Estonia this summer, you are really spoiled for choice. Festivals and events dedicated to the consumption of beer are a lot of fun, but if you want to get the true feel of the country, you need something a little more ethnic. Like a town fair. Just as July becomes August, the seaside town of Haapsalu will host a grand spectacle of rural Estonian entertainment. The White Lady Days is a summer celebration filled with amusement for all the family. Held in and around the remains of the Teutonic-knights-era castles, the fair combines enchanting medieval legends with modern countryside charm to create a comprehensive experience of Estonia beyond the big cities. But the legend of the White Lady of Haapsalu, which is at the heart of the festival, is perhaps the most famous tall tale of the many that are so abundant in Estonia's folklore.

About this same time, he converted from Lutheranism to the Russian orthotox (vene õigeusk) faith. In 1980, after a prolonged struggle with Soviet (NSVL) officials, he was allowed to emigrate with his wife and their two sons
the scenery. Jones also viewed the masque as something to be used in educating people. This idea of art as an educative vehicle soon affected all the different areas of courtly life. Jones’s masque sets, for example, educated the audiences about classical antiquity and classical architecture. Jonson and Jones were the ones who gave the Stuart court an entertainment which linked poetry and moral philosophy to art. This was achieved by tying together the art of music, dance, poetry, and visually representing them in lavish illusionistic scenic display. In this way, kingship was portrayed as divine along with its doctrines, as it was also carefully formed into an educational experience. (Coursebook, pp. 5-7) 2. The Caroline Masque The Caroline masque, above all, emphasized the interdependence of the arts and the Crown. The masques covered the years of Charles’s personal rule without summoning the Parliament. The
