Bolshoi Theatre
Pause in Theatre Square to examine the Bolshoi's neoclassical front. This short exterior visit gives an architectural introduction to one of Russia's established opera and ballet institutions.
The Bolshoi belongs to Moscow's performing arts history as well as its streetscape. Its repeated rebuilding and restoration have left a recognizable neoclassical landmark. Looking from the square helps you see the building as part of the city; attending a performance is a separate plan that needs a specific event ticket.
