Founded in 1776 by Catherine the Great, the legendary Bolshoi Theatre suffered fires, bombings and neglect before being restored to its former glory in 2011. The painstaking $700-million-plus transformation took six years and more than doubled the size of the historical building. Soviet hammer-and-sickle signs were removed and a modern stage, damasked seats and layer upon layer of gold leaf were put in. Not visible are the enhanced acoustics, which make a performance by the Bolshoi’s renowned ballet troupe a joy to watch. The company, known for its powerful expressive style and sheer athleticism, specializes in classics like The Marriage of Figaro and Swan Lake. Treat yourself to a show, and prepare to be inspired by the unabashed enthusiasm of Russian audiences.
