The Bolshoi Theatre
42 ............
The Bolshoi theatre — one of the world’s biggest and most
spectacular theatres — is known in all four corners of the
world as the home of the outstanding Bolshoi opera and
ballet companies.
43 ............
Located near the Red Square in Moscow, the Bolshoi theatre
was built in 1824. Over 2,000 people can sit inside this
magnificent theatre on red velvet seats, underneath elaborate
lights and beautiful gold decorations. It is simply impossible
not to be amazed by a visit to the incredible Bolshoi theatre —
and that’s before a performance has even begun!
44 ............
During its long history, the theatre has seen performances by
some of Russia’s most famous artists and by some of the
world’s best-loved composers. It has also survived some

tough moments: three fires, the construction of the Moscow
metro line underneath it and bombing during the war.
45 ............
In 2005, engineers announced that the Bolshoi
theatre was extremely unstable and that it could fall
down at any time. So that same summer, the theatre
was closed and repair work began at great cost.
Currently, the reconstruction of the Bolshoi theatre is
expected to be completed around 2011.
46 ............
When the theatre reopens, several things will
have changed. But one thing won’t, which is the
theatre’s appearance. Every step is being taken to
make absolutely certain that this magnificent theatre,
when it reopens, will look exactly as it always did.
