Somewhat unusual choice. 'Coppelia' isn't a very populated ballet, at home they had moved it to the New Stage with less than 900 seats. Here in Novosibirsk the theatre is the biggest in the country – that is, the building, the seating capacity of the main hall after the renovation is about 1400, as far as I remember. And they are always full-booked! Like all theatres designed in 1930-s it is planned as circles going around the stage; no boxes, just one 'open space'. The good thing is that the view is fairly good thanks to very steep steps. That is unless you have a seat somewhere in the corner. But you really don't need to do that, as the tickets are not so awfully expensive, compared with what we are used to in Moscow. The ballet was really charming! It's sort of a fairy-tale, based on Hoffmann's works, but much more cheerful. To enhance the magic they used modern visual graphics; I am generally not a huge fan, but to my surprise it merged well with the traditional ballet skills. I've heard sometimes they offer backstage tours, or maybe, guided tours around the building - very much worth a visit; a splendidly furbished foyer, and the newly-renovated audience-hall. Highly recommend!

The train museum is quite large and have a massive collection of trains, carriages and service equipment of all sizes. Some of the pieces can be accessed and are quite interesting. They also have a range of ww2 and Soviet machinery.
