Pavel Mochalov
Template:Short descriptionTemplate:Expand Russian
Pavel Stepanovich Mochalov (Template:Langx; 1800–1848) was thought to be the greatest tragedian of Russian Romanticism, much admired by Alexander Herzen, Mikhail Lermontov and other contemporaries.[1]
During his prolonged career at the Malyi Theatre of Moscow, Mochalov gave inspired although uneven performances in melodrama and neoclassical tragedy, as well as Shakespearean works.[2][3] He excelled in plays by Friedrich Schiller, in the title role of Don Carlos, as both Karl Moor and Franz Moor in The Robbers, and as Mortimer in Maria Stuart; and in title roles in Shakespeare's plays as Hamlet, Othello, King Lear, and Richard III.[2][4] His acting had a Byronic flavour and relied heavily upon inspiration.
Sometimes styled the "Russian Kean",[2] Mochalov was frequently compared with his St Petersburg rival, Vasily Karatygin, whose acting was more poised and calculated.
