The Bolshoi Theatre

The theatre is called “Bolshoi” not only because of its size, but because of its great contribution to the classical opera and ballet. Here the performances of many operas (“Life for the Tsar” by M. Glinka, “Boris Godunov” by M. Musorgsky, “Prince Igor” by A. Borodin, etc.) and ballets (“Swan Lake” and “The Nutcracker” by P. Tchaikovsky, etc.) were staged.

The Bolshoi Theatre is the cradle of the Russian national opera and classical ballet. In 1776 Prince P. Urusov formed the first permanent troupe of Moscow Russian Theatre. First the troupe performed in the house of Count R. Vorontsov and then, in 1780, in Petrov Theatre, which was the first Moscow permanent theatre. After the fire another building of the theatre was designed by the famous Russian architect Joseph Bovet in 1825.

In 1853 the theatre was destroyed by fire except for the outer walls and the portico, and restored in 1856 by architect A. Cavos. The hall was divided into five circles for 2000 spectators. The interior of the theatre is magnificent. It is famous for gilded decorations and beautiful crystal chandeliers (люстры).

I’ll never forget my first visit to the Bolshoi Theatre. It was ages ago, but it stands out in my memory quite vividly. My mother bought two tickets beforehand for a matinee performance of the ballet “The Sleeping Beauty” by P. Tchaikovsky.

We came to the theatre long before the performance began. A sign at the entrance of the theatre read “House full”. Many people were standing at the theatre asking if we had an extra ticket.

We left our coats in the cloak-room and bought a programme from the usher to see what the cast was. I remember we were glad to see that Plisetskaya was dancing the main part.

At twelve sharp the lights went down and the performance began. I had never seen anything more wonderful. The scenery and the dancing were excellent. When the last curtain fell the house burst into applause. The dancers got many curtain calls and were presented with flowers. The performance was a great success with the public. The first visit to the Bolshoi Theatre is one of my brightest memories.
