Moscow Theatres

It's hard to exaggerate the significance of Moscow in the development of world theatre, from the timeless wonders of the Bolshoi Ballet to the exciting experimental theatres like Stanislavsky's Moscow Art Theatre, founded at the start of the 20th Century.

Moscow's most famous theatre is currently undergoing a renaissance in a drive to return to its rightful position as one of the world's premier opera and ballet houses.

The Helikon Theatre
In its 15-year history, this small opera house has established a solid reputation both here and abroad for its vibrant, superbly acted and often controversial productions of the classics.

The Children's Musical Theatre
A Moscow institution, this unique theatre was founded to help introduce younger audiences to the joys of opera and ballet in a friendly, welcoming environment.
