Theatre Square (Russian: Театральная Площадь, Tetralnaya Ploschad), known as Sverdlov Square between 1919 and 1991, is a city square within the Kitay-Gorod administrative district of Moscow, Russia. It's located at the junction of Kuznetsky Bridge Street, Petrovka Street, Theatre Drive and Ploshchad Revolyutsii.
The square is named after the three theatres situated there — Bolshoi Theatre, Maly Theatre, and Russian Youth Theatre. The square is popular among tourists, as the Bolshoi is. The square is served by the Teatralnaya Moscow metro station on the Zamoskvoretskaya Line. From this station it is possible to transfer to Okhotniy Ryad on the Sokolnicheskaya Line and Ploshchad Revolyutsii on the Arbatsko-Pokrovskaya Line.
Other buildings on the square include the TsUM (ЦУМ), a large department store located to the north-west and built in the Neo-Gothic style quite discordant with the Neoclassical architecture of the theatres. The TSuM sells clothes, technology, souvenirs, and jewelery.
