|
The Bolshoi Theatre is one
of the oldest and biggest theatres in Russia. It is also one of the most
renowned |rɪˈnaʊnd| (прославленный) opera and ballet theatres
in the world. People sometimes call it shortly «The Bolshoi» and it is situated
in the central part of Moscow. |
It was built between 1821 and 1824.
Since then, the building was renovated |ˈrenəveɪtɪd| (реставрировано)
and rebuilt several times. However, it kept its original imperial decorations.
The theatre is always associated with
opera and ballet. It has been the site for many notable premiers. Today, it’s
not simply the building of the theatre but it is also an outstanding landmark
of Moscow. The neoclassical view of The Bolshoi can be seen on the Russian 100-ruble
banknote. Among them, Rachmaninoff’s “Aleko”, Mussorgsky’s “Boris
Godunov”, Tchaikovsky’s “The Voyevoda” and “Mazeppa”. Ballet repertoire
includes Tchaikovsky’s “Swan Lake”, Prokofiev’s “Romeo and Juliet”, Adam’s
“Giselle” and several others. Many productions are based on classical works of
Russian composers. However, the works of such Italian composers as Verdi,
Rossini and Puccini are also staged.
The Bolshoi Theatre is well-known
throughout the world.
