The Bolshoi Theatre (Russian:Большо́й теа́тр, tr.Bol'shoy Teatr. Translation: Big Theatre;IPA:[bɐlʲˈʂoj tʲɪˈatər]) is a historic theatre in Moscow, Russia, designed by architect Joseph Bové, which holds performances of ballet and opera. The theatre's original name was the Imperial Bolshoi Theatre of Moscow, while the St. Petersburg Bolshoi Theatre (demolished in 1886), was called the Imperial Bolshoi Kamenny Theatre.
At that time, all Russian theatres were imperial property. Moscow and St. Petersburg each had only two theatres, one intended for opera and ballet (these were known as the Bolshoi Theatres), and one for plays (tragedies and comedies). Because opera and ballet were considered nobler than drama, the opera houses were named "Grand Theatres" ("Bolshoi" is Russian for "large" or "grand") and the drama theatres were called the "Smaller Theatre" ("Maly" is Russian for "small", "lesser", or "little").

The Bolshoi Theatre / Большой Театр
The Bolshoi Theatre in Moscow opened on January 18, 1825. On July 2, 2005, the historic building of the Bolshoi Theatre was closed for renovation. For 6 long years, strenuous work was carried out to rebuild, improve the technical capabilities of the stage, restore the historical details of the building. The Bolshoi Theatre opened on October 28, 2011. The complexity of the work was driven by 85% manual labour requirement: because construction had to be carried out in the underground part of the theatre there is practically no mechanisation of labour.
Repairs were initially estimated at $610 million but engineers found that more than 75% of the structure was unstable, and as a result, the cost estimate jumped to approximately $850 million. After the work, however, it was announced that only...

The Bolshoi Theatre is a historic theatre in Moscow, Russia, originally designed by architect Joseph Bové, which holds ballet and opera performances. Before the October Revolution it was a part of the Imperial Theatres of the Russian Empire along with Maly Theatre in Moscow and a few theatres in Saint Petersburg (Hermitage Theatre, Bolshoi (Kamenny) Theatre, later Mariinsky Theatre and others).
The Bolshoi Ballet and Bolshoi Opera are amongst the oldest and most renowned ballet and opera companies in the world. It is by far the world's biggest ballet company, with more than 200 dancers. The theatre is the parent company of The Bolshoi Ballet Academy, a world-famous leading school of ballet.

The Bolshoi Theatre in Moscow opened on January 18, 1825. On July 2, 2005, the historic building of the Bolshoi Theatre was closed for renovation. For 6 long years, strenuous work was carried out to rebuild, improve the technical capabilities of the stage, restore the historical details of the building. The Bolshoi Theatre opened on October 28, 2011. The complexity of the work was driven by 85% manual labour requirement: because construction had to be carried out in the underground part of the theatre there is practically no mechanisation of labour.
Repairs were initially estimated at $610 million but engineers found that more than 75% of the structure was unstable, and as a result, the cost estimate jumped to approximately $850 million. After the work, however, it was announced that only $688 mil had been spent. According to The Moscow Times, the true cost may have been double that, and Der Spiegel quotes a figure of $1.1 billion. The rebuilding and renovation were funded entirely by the federal government.
After reconstruction, the theatre has 13 floors - 7 aboveground and 6 underground.
The area of the Bolshoi Theatre has doubled and amounted to 80 thousand square meters.
The Bolshoi's Orchestra pit is the largest in Europe suitable for 130 orchestras.
Historically, the building was designed for only 200 artists, but now its main troupe consists of 2,000 people.
The renovation included an improvement in acoustics, to attempt to replicate the sound believed to have existed in pre-Soviet times, and the restoration of the original Imperial decor.
Above the stage, The Bolshoi Theatre has a belfry of 20 bells.
The movable orchestra pit has been provided with extra space under the fore-stage. This makes it one of the biggest orchestra pits in the world seating up to 130 musicians, which is necessary for the performance of such large-scale works as, for instance, Wagner operas. When required the pit can be removed to host presentations, big-scale events and competitions.
The stage of the Bolshoi Theatre is not flat, it has a 7-degree slope. From the point of view of theatre directors, an oblique stage can heighten a sense of depth and dimension in production or choreography. However, actors and dancers accustomed to performing on level stages may have some problems when performing on an incline. The most common problem is the loss of balance. Also, some dancers sometimes complain of dizziness.
The five tiers of the auditorium can accommodate over 1800 spectators. The total area of the hall, which is located on six underground levels, is 7.5 thousand square meters.
In terms of its acoustic properties, it is considered one of the best in the world (by the end of the 19th century, it was the number one theatre in the world).
State of the art machinery has been installed in the stage-house. The Bolshoi Theatre Historic stage now consists of seven two-tier rising and descending platforms. These platforms can easily change their positions, thus the stage can become horizontal, raked or stepped. The stage and backstage area can be united which creates a stage space of incredible depth.
New upper stage equipment, remotely controlled by a computer, makes it possible to derive maximum use from lighting, sound and visual effects. Cutting edge rigs have been installed for the deployment of lanterns, special effects apparatus and acoustics.

The Bolshoi Theatre is a historic theatre in Moscow, Russia, originally designed by architect Joseph Bové, which holds ballet and opera performances. Before the October Revolution it was a part of the Imperial Theatres of the Russian Empire along with Maly Theatre in Moscow and a few theatres in Saint Petersburg (Hermitage Theatre, Bolshoi (Kamenny) Theatre, later Mariinsky Theatre and others).
The Bolshoi Ballet and Bolshoi Opera are amongst the oldest and most renowned ballet and opera companies in the world. It is by far the world's biggest ballet company, with more than 200 dancers. The theatre is the parent company of The Bolshoi Ballet Academy, a world-famous leading school of ballet.
The main building of the theatre, rebuilt and renovated several times during its history, is a landmark of Moscow and Russia. On 28 October 2011, the Bolshoi re-opened after an extensive six-year renovation. The official cost of the renovation is 21 billion rubles ($688 million). The renovation included restoring acoustics to the original quality (which had been lost during the Soviet Era), as well as restoring the original Imperial decor of the Bolshoi.
The company was founded on 28 March 1776, when Catherine II granted Prince Peter Urusov a licence to organise theatrical performances, balls and other forms of entertainment. Urusov set up the theatre in collaboration with English tightrope walker Michael Maddox. Initially, it held performances in a private home, but it acquired the Petrovka Theatre and on 30 December 1780, it began producing plays and operas, thus establishing what would become the Bolshoi Theatre. Fire destroyed the Petrovka Theatre on 8 October 1805, and the New Arbat Imperial Theatre replaced it on 13 April 1808, however it also succumbed to fire during the French invasion of Moscow in 1812.
The Bolshoi is a repertory theatre, meaning that it draws from a list of productions, any one of which may be performed on a given evening. It normally introduces two to four new ballet or opera productions each season and puts a similar number on hold. The sets and costumes for most productions are made in the Bolshoi's own workshops. The performers are drawn primarily from the Bolshoi's regular ballet and opera companies, with occasional guest performances.
The Bolshoi Theatre is world-famous and attracts large numbers of tourists. As a result, prices can be much higher than in other Russian theatres. This is especially the case for ballet, where prices are comparable to those for performances in the West. For local citizens, concerts and operas are still relatively affordable, with prices ranging from 100 rubles (≈$1.5) (for students, for balcony seats for matinée performances) to 15,000 rubles (≈$230) (for seats in the orchestra or stalls).

The Bolshoi Theatre (Russian:Большо́й теа́тр, tr.Bol'shoy Teatr. Translation: Big Theatre;IPA:[bɐlʲˈʂoj tʲɪˈatər]) is a historic theatre in Moscow, Russia, designed by architect Joseph Bové, which holds performances of ballet and opera. The theatre's original name was the Imperial Bolshoi Theatre of Moscow, while the St. Petersburg Bolshoi Theatre (demolished in 1886), was called the Imperial Bolshoi Kamenny Theatre.
At that time, all Russian theatres were imperial property. Moscow and St. Petersburg each had only two theatres, one intended for opera and ballet (these were known as the Bolshoi Theatres), and one for plays (tragedies and comedies). Because opera and ballet were considered nobler than drama, the opera houses were named "Grand Theatres" ("Bolshoi" is Russian for "large" or "grand") and the drama theatres were called the "Smaller Theatre" ("Maly" is Russian for "small", "lesser", or "little").
