Кропивницький академічний український музично-драматичний театр імені М. Л. Кропивницького / Kropyvnytskiy Academic Ukrainian Musical-Drama Theater named after M. L. Kropyvnytskyi Kropyvnytskyi urban hromada

Coryphaei - in ancient drama, the leader of the choir. Subsequently, this term began to be used to refer to people who have achieved outstanding success in their field, most often in the arts or science. In 1901, the book "Corypheivs of the Ukrainian Stage" was published in Kyiv, which, due to censorship, was written anonymously by Ukrainian intellectuals. In it, Mark Kropyvnytskyi, Mykhailo Starytskyi, Ivan Tobilevich, and others were named the corypheivs of the Ukrainian theater for the first time. This poetic term has become inseparable from the theater.
