Description

Follow your guide and explore the Bolshoi Theatre, where the most important theatre, opera and ballet pieces are performed!

In the company of your guide, you will begin your tour at the entrance of the Bolshoi Theatre, an iconic example of Russian architecture. Admire the theatre’s interior, decorated in red and gold tones. In particular, you can marvel at its frescoes, which hark back to the Soviet era.

The tour will continue backstage. Take a peek at the artists’ dressing rooms and take this chance to see the auditorium without an audience. With a bit of luck, you might even be able to see a rehearsal*

Over the course of the tour, your guide will tell you all about the history of the world-renowned Bolshoi Theatre, from its construction to the present day.

At the end of the tour, your guide will accompany you to your hotel.
