The political, scientific, historical, architectural and business center of Russia, Moscow displays the country's contrasts at their most extreme. The ancient and modern are juxtaposed side by side in this city of 10 million. Catch a metro from one of the ornate stations to see Red Square, the Kremlin, the nine domes of St. Basil's Cathedral, Lenin's Mausoleum, the KGB Museum and other symbols of Moscow's great and terrible past, then lighten up and shop Boulevard Ring or people watch in Pushkin Square.

Russia is the birthplace of my favorite composer P. Tchaikovsky and his music is widely known to be composed mostly for ballet and symphonies. Being in Moscow, I really wanted to visit the Bolshoi theatre but in vain. However, on that day we coincidently bought tickets to an Opera in this place just to feel what it was like to watch Tchaikovsky's music played live in this very city and the show was beautiful. A day prior to Christmas Eve, this event was one of the best moments in Russia.!!

The oldest theater in Moscow, rebuilt following a fire and later a hurricane, is magnificent both inside and out, and its resident opera and ballet troupes rate among the finest in the world.
ABOVE ALL ELSE use the official website and ignore all others. We booked for the ballet, scheduled for the 30th April, which was of course cancelled due to the virus. The refund appeared on my credit card exactly 30 days later, exactly as promised. Booking was straightforward, and prices cheaper than the Royal Opera House, and we managed to book the front Row, Seats A6 and 7! Communications, in English and Russian, were excellent. I would not hesitate to use that official website in future -most impressive, secure and efficient.

Lovely theatre with some interesting displays of costumes/set designs etc. As my first experience of seeing a ballet I had no idea what to expect.We saw a performance of Giselle in two acts. I was especially thrilled to discover that there was an actual orchestra (it was brilliant!). We had a thoroughly enjoyable evening. I was a bit worried about what to wear but smart casual was perfect.

The Stanislavsky Electrotheatre is located in the heart of Moscow, on Tverskaya Street 23, and was founded almost a century ago in 1915 as the cinema palace — the Ars electrotheatre. After the revolution it became home to Konstantin Stanislavsky's opera and drama studio, and not long after that, the Stanislavsky Drama Theatre. The symbolic legacy of these three locations, a cinema, an opera studio and a dramatic theatre, has been fully endorsed by the Stanislavsky Electrotheatre as it launches a new era. In collaboration with The Wowhaus Studio — the architectural bureau responsible for numerous major architectural and design projects in Moscow in recent years, including the building of the Strelka Institute and the redesign of Gorky Park — Yukhananov undertook a full-scale reconstruction of the old interior of the building, creating a new, multi-functional platform not only for theatre, but for exhibitions, lectures and performance art.
