In 1936 Goncharov enrolled into the Russian Academy of Theatre Arts, first the actor’s class of V.O.Toporkov, then moved to the directors’ group led by Nikolai Gorchakov.
Later, as Andrey Goncharov came to become the head of the theatre, she created several outstanding characters, notably Blanche in Tennessee Williams's A Streetcar Named Desire and the Mayoress Anna Andreevna in Nikolai Gogol’s Revizor.
