Lonely Planet's Top Tip
While the Bolshoi is Russia's most famous theatre, it is not the only one. Several other
opera and ballet theatres in Moscow offer the same level of professionalism and pan-
ache in their performances at a fraction of the price. If you have your heart set on go-
ing to the opera or ballet but can't get tickets to the Bolshoi, consider the
Novaya
Opera
or the
Stanislavsky & Nemirovich-Danchenko Musical Theatre
, both gorgeous
theatres with highly skilled performers.
