The Bolshoi Theatre is a grand neo-classical building that was
constructed in 1824 and is renowned for its size and the quality of
the acoustics. Visitors always get a thrill out of a visit to this
world-renowned theatre. The gilt 19th-century auditorium is a sight
to behold, as is the Russian flair for set and costume design, which
alone is enough to keep an audience enthralled. The Bolshoi has
hosted some of Russia's most famed performers and celebrated
premieres by some of the world's best-loved composers, like in 1842,
when Glinka's opera ‘A Life for the Tsar’ was premiered. The
creative activity of such composers and directors as Alexis
Verstovsky and Alexander Varlamov contributed massively to the
Bolshoi’s international status. Together they formed the Russian
Opera repertoire. The theatre's ballet performances are some of the
best in the world and the company's corps de ballet is one of the
most acclaimed in Europe. A trip to see one of the Bolshoi Theatre's
world-class opera or ballet performances is an absolute must on your
next visit to Moscow. We have a dedicated department that
specialises in Operas at the Bolshoi Theatre that are combined with
amazing city breaks of Moscow. A variety of opera and Ballet city
break packages and many other luxury & cultural Moscow holiday
breaks, based around theatre performances at the Bolshoi Theatre can
be arranged.
| Stanislavsky & Nemirovich-Danchenko Theatre |
If tickets for the Bolshoi are unavailable, then we highly recommend
opera & ballet performances at the Stanislavsky and
Nemirovich-Danchenko Music Theatre, also known as the ‘Stasic’.
The Stanislavsky & Nemirovich-Danchenko Theatre, founded in 1941
when the Stanislavsky Opera Studio merged with the Music Studio of
Nemirovich-Danchenko, blends the traditions of Russian classical
ballet with a novel and innovative approach to production, staging
and set design. The history of the theatre's ballet & opera group
goes back to the late 1920's, when Moscow acquired a new dance
company called Art Ballet. Today, all the usual classical works and
a few more interesting and lesser known one-act ballets and Russian
favorites. Opera enthusiasts regard the Stanislavsky and
Nemirovich-Danchenko as Moscow’s ‘second Bolshoi’. Classical and
modern operas, ballets, and operettas are staged here, and many say
that there performances of Swan Lake are the best in Russia. The
theatre is less well known than the Bolshoi, so tickets are often
cheaper. The following ballets are well worth a look; Tchaikovsky's
Swan Lake, The Nutcracker, Puccini's La Boheme, Bizet's Carmen and
many more. If there is a particular performance, you would like to
see, please add this to your enquiry and send it to the opera &
ballet tour specialists. For operas or ballets in Russia, there is
no other company that is as reliable as Vamos Travel, to guarantee a
magical, cultural and historical journey that you will never forget.

performances. The Helikon Opera Theatre has its own unique features,
both stylish and rebellious and it is of no surprise to find that
the house is always full. Speak to the opera tour specialists and

Classical Concerts
The building housing the Tchaikovsky Concert Hall, whose
massive square-pillared portico and diamond-patterned facade looms
above the main entrance to Mayakovsky Metro Station, was originally
built as a theatre for the avant-garde director and producer,
Vsevolod Meyerhold. Meyerhold, who is regarded as one of the most
exciting and experimental Russian theatre directors of this century.
However, Meyerhold was arrested and killed during Stalin's purges of
the 1930s and the theater was converted into a concert hall, which
is now used by the Russian State Symphony Orchestra. The
Russian State Symphony Orchestra was founded in the early 1930s and
began its first concert program in the Grand Hall of the Moscow
Conservatoire in October 1936. Today the Tchaikovsky Concert Hall
hosts regular concerts by both the Russian State Symphony Orchestra
and many visiting international orchestras, ensembles, choirs,
soloists and conductors. We recommend to our clients to go to
Tchaikovsky Concert Hall for a splendid evening of classical music.
Make an enquiry to our knowledgeable staff about designing a
suitable short break package that includes concert tickets.
The prestigious Moscow Conservatoire, located just a
five-minute walk from Red Square and the Kremlin, was founded in
September 1866 by the outstanding pianist and musician Nikolai
Rubinshtein. Rubinshtein rapidly became the darling of the Muscovite
classical music scene and drew full houses to all of his
performances. The Conservatoire was originally opened in the
grandiose 18th century former residence of the Baroness Cherkassova,
where Tchaikovsky was immediately offered a post at the new Moscow
Conservatoire. The rapidly growing Conservatoire soon found its
premises on Vozdvizhenka restrictive and the entire school was
transferred to yet another elaborate 18th century mansion on
Bolshaya Nikitskaya, where it remains to this day. Today the
Conservatoire is a world-recognized centre of musical education and
performance and musicological studies and fosters some of Russia's
most talented contemporary composers, conductors and musicians.
Today the Conservatoire holds regular concerts in its various
venues. The Grand Hall, which is famous for its unique acoustics and
for having one of the world's largest organs, hosts regular
symphonic concerts and musical events and welcomes well-known
orchestras, conductors and soloists from around the world. The
Conservatoire's Small Hall features a concert program of smaller
ensembles and the Rachmaninov Halls schedule mostly chamber music
concerts. The Moscow Conservatoire is reason enough to visit Russia
and to experience one of the best city breaks holidays in the world.
