If visitors to Moscow think the city is all about the Bolshoi Theatre, then they often also think that the Bolshoi is all about «Swan Lake». In some ways, they are right, because it is simply impossible to visit Moscow and not to visit this famous theatre.

We warmly invite you to walk along the corridors and halls of the hallowed Bolshoi Theatre, open to visitors again after years of restoration!

Famous singers such as: Ivan Kozlovsky, Fyodor Shalyapin and Leonid Sobinov all performed here and the original versions of Yuri Grigorovich and Marius Petipa’s classical ballets were staged in this famous theatre. Not to forget that this is the place that the famous Sergei Rachmaninov's conductor's podium once stood.
- You will enter the famous square hall with its round-shaped ceiling, formerly a place only the highest echelons of society could access. Take time to admire the foyer floor, beautifully covered in decorative tiles, exactly like it was in the 19th century.
- Visit the new underground hall, lose yourself in the special creative atmosphere that invisibly hovers here, touch real art with your soul.
- Pop by the sewing workshop and see the unique collection of costumes!
