From the History of the Bolshoi Theatre

More than two hundred years ago (in 1776) a rich Moscow nobleman Prince Urusov asked the government for the privilege of founding a Russian theatre in Moscow. He said that he would erect a stone (камень) building for it within five years and that the building of the theatre would improve the appearance of the city, would make it more attractive. The privilege having been given, Prince Urusov organized the first company (труппа) which consisted of serfs (крепостные). It was the birth of the Moscow Opera House. But as the building of the theatre was not ready yet the performances for some years took place in different city halls. In the meantime (тем временем) Prince Urusov and an Englishman Michael Maddock bought a piece of land in Petrovka street in Moscow where the famous Bolshoi Theatre building is standing today, although its facade has undergone numerous changes and transformations.

However before the construction started Prince Urusov went bankrupt (обанкротиться) and the work was done by Maddock alone. Maddock was able to organize the work in such a way and he himself worked so hard that the building was finished in five months instead of five years as it had been first planned. The official opening ceremony took place in December 1780. In 1806 the theatre became a state property (собственность). But due to the fire (пожар) which took place the same winter the building was completely destroyed. For nearly twenty years performances took place in various city houses and halls including a specially built wooden (деревянный) building which was also destroyed when Napleon's troops (войско) entered Moscow.

The new building completed in 1824 was more impressive than the old one, its interior being second (уступать) only to the theatre in Milan. Another fire (пожар) in 1853 destroyed the theatre again, leaving nothing but the walls and the front colonnade. Three years later the necessary repairs (ремонт) were completed. Five tiers (ярус) were added and the acoustics was greatly improved. Bronze horses (лошадь) deco­rated the pediment (фронтон). This is how the building looks today.
