summercamp (the Bolshoi theater) Review

If I was in Moscow and was not in BT, it does not count))

Wow! What a great theater with high professional artists and the most beautiful ambience. I would love to go there again. A must see in moscow.

Great show room.
A curious fact: the Bolshoi Theater stretches below the border square.

Listened and watched the opera "Manon Lescaut" grandiose production. Very expensive performance on spets. effects. Luxury soloists Nechaev and Eyvaz. A lot of impressions and pleasures.

What an interesting life you should have, that the Bolshoi Theater failed to impress you

Very beautifully decorated square on New Year's holidays 2016-2017. More of this, the mood of the holiday. That's cool.

The drama is easy to see, not boring, definitely won't sleep.

Surprisingly powerful monument of architecture. Garage park. Convenient transportation.

Enjoy the best experience from the brand Bolshoi. Online reservation is required, dress code and some instructions are available on the website.

They gave Giuseppe Verdi's opera "On the Masquerade" - the director and artist is some kind of foreigners, but you have to give credit, superbly!
True, if you compare this with Alexandrinsky and Mariinsky, then it will pull 4+!
But I recommend it anyway! Large, after reconstruction, a worthy sight!

I liked it very much. I would like to visit here more often

An epochal place, whoever ever comes to Moscow, will always be visited not only by a theorist, but even by the square in front of him and American spies are no exception ....

Great theater. Nice building, very nice interior. Courteous staff.

Great place, many staffs are able to speak English and very helpful. Actually have 3 seperate buildings with 3 different stages. If you come here for show, I recommend you to arrive around 60 mins before it starts. They have great performance and you better book it via online.

Great stage and perfect installation inside and outside. Highly recommended!!!

It's not good time for Bolshoi now. They lost many excellent singers and opera directors. Bolshoi gets much money from the Russian government and spends it not very wisely.
+ Expensive costumes, historical interior;
- Weak staging, weak actors.

We made a tour of this unmissable place of Moscow, there are only 3 sessions of visit in English per week with 15 places to 1500 rubles per person, we did that of Friday at 11:30, we arrived at 10:45 and it was time, a person already gave the 15 bracelets to people waiting in front of the theater that gives the right then to enter to buy your seats! The visit lasts about 1 hour, and you discover this fabulous theater, including the main performance room, as well the ground floor as the 3rd and 7th balcony, and some other rooms! Not disappointed of this moment!

The Nutcracker is just magical !!! Still a good tradition to watch it on New Year's holidays :)

Life hack: large lines in the buffet and toilet, but not everyone knows that on the -3 floor there is a huge buffet of the Beethoven Hall without queues and there are a lot of restrooms :)))

Ballet of the highest level on the stage of the Bolshoi Theater. The skill of the artists, the perfection of the dance technique, the luxury of the scenery!

A very beautiful place! Pleasant rest with the whole family !!!

Iconic landmark in Moscow. The light show in September was really good.

This theater is simply wonderful, my son and husband are delighted with my son for the first time in the theater and he liked the blue god ballet, so I wish this theater good performances!

If you haven t been in a big theater, haven t been in Russia

The rating is probably always on the performance you can see.
However, there are probably no two opinions about the architecture of the historical theater.

In July 1820, the construction of a new theater began, which was to become the center of the town-planning composition of the square and adjacent streets.
Even closer, on a wide area, stands the Petrovsky Theater, a work of modern art, a huge building made according to all the rules of taste, with a flat roof and a magnificent portico, on which rises the alabaster Apollo, standing on one leg in an alabaster chariot, motionlessly controlling three alabaster with horses and with vexation he gazes at the Kremlin wall, which jealously separates it from the ancient shrines of Russia!
M. Lermontov, youthful essay
"Panorama of Moscow"

An incredible experience - I especially loved the long intervals for champagne and people watching!

There are many theaters in the city. But the main theater, the Bolshoi theater. When you get off the subway, you can see the red square walking along the road. a good spot to catch your breath and retreat Photo

The theater is located in the same place where the Petrovsky theater stood, which had been inaugurated in 1780 and which was burned down in 1805. In 1819 a competition was announced for the new theater project; the competition was won by Andrej Michajlov. However, his project was deemed to be too expensive, so Moscow governor Dmitry Vladimirovich Golicyn commissioned architect Giuseppe Bove to modify it. The work on the new project began in 1820 and the new Gran (Bol' oj) Petrovsky Theater was inaugurated on January 18, 1825 with the ballet Cendrillon by Fernando Sor.

The world famous Bolshoi Ballet and Theater Building. spectacular. A theater that should be watched, especially the temple of those who love ballet.

I give 5 stars only imagining it because of my late hours ... na what arrogance in this place ... I tried to speak with 2 people I received only phrases like: but how can you not know it !! ?? ...Bah

Magical interior, excellent acoustics. The troupe of the theater is magnificent, the scenery is unique!

You will never regret, even if you are not an opera fan.

Good Italian Opera was going on with Russian Caption they should have a english caption. Too

In Soviet times, he listened and reviewed almost the entire repertoire. Remained in the memory for a long time.

Beautiful building. Its neoclassical facade is a landmark of Moscow and Russia. It pictured on the Russian 100-ruble banknote.

Very so-so execution. The public takes a selfie during the opera. They talk on the phone.
Very expensive buffet. In general, dissatisfied.

The historical center of Moscow is good on weekends when you can get here without traffic jams.

Stunning building. Historic. In some places poor visibility to the stage.

Great place.
Living three years in Moscow, unfortunately, was only once. Resellers quickly buy tickets (selling by passports would solve all problems), and then the cost of these tickets reaches tens of thousands. If you come an hour before the performance, there is a chance to grab the standing places, but there are not many of them, it is easier to follow the availability of these tickets on the official website.
Chic interior, great repertoire. everything is at the best level!

The heart of Russian culture. A place to visit is a must! Atmosphere, grace! You can not buy an extra handbag from LV. But tickets to the Bolshoi Theater cannot be bought!

Super interesting tour for 1500 rubles. Guide in Russian or English. Sumptuous place. On the other hand, I take off a star for the organization of the visits. 2 very long lines for a visit at 11am in Russian and a visit at 11:30 in English, 3 days in the week. Each visit 15 people not one more. The tourists wait in full sun, often for 1h or 2 (like me) do not know what is the line in Russian is the line in English and then fight to find out who arrived first ... nightmare.

The most beautiful theater of the country and the world!

Wow place in Moscow.
Visited 30 years ago, 1990, and has been fantastic because during a normal show a "flash mob strike" for 5 minuts, when all worker people stopped on the stage in Front of Us, only ask a best condition of work at the Comintern Russian.
At the end, only applause for them!!

The theater is simply gorgeous, it must be seen. I won t say anything about the ballet troupe, as it was their tour. But the theater staff is very polite, nice people. They helped us with pleasure and talked about their theater.

The performance and artists at the height. The theater itself is a rare one, from the finishing to the personnel. There is no air conditioning system; you are choking in the hall, elevator. There is no way to lean the bag somewhere when you present a passport. But you are happily yelling "do not put the bags and complain to the administration" (I really wanted to put on a big scandal). During the evening offered 6 times. No pointers. In the left elevator buttons, not all work. The elevator is small, the queues are big. The lobby is scarce. The higher, the more dismal and poor. In the buffet there is no possibility to pay with a card, only cash. The staff seemed to be from the 80s. Curse in front of foreigners and arrogant with the Russians. The questions are answered rudely, they do not consider it necessary to help. In short, this is not a national treasure, but a Potemkin village, before the Turkish hotel there is still 10 reconstructions to be done to a large theater.

Were at the opera + BMV concert, it's great that there are such free concerts

Reviews are unnecessary about the theater itself. Do not take tickets to places where visibility is limited to more than 20%.

A must for any tourist or resident who loves the arts. It's a classy experience but the music and dance are all accessible to any willing to open their minds to it. It's an experience you'll never forget.

Beauty! A historic place, not to mention wonderful productions. The atmosphere of the Bolshoi means a lot.

Best. Scale and level. And only positive impressions of the evening.

I took a bus at night and passed and watched. Wonderful scenes.
