An amazing place in an amazing city, we went to see the Ballet and had a great time with the best seats in the house, right next to the Royal Box, as shown in the pics, even if you do not like Ballet or Opera it is still worth a visit just to say "I;ve been there"

Pros: non-speaking shows available. Beautiful to look at. Benches out in front by fountain. Cons: Only has tours one day a week, otherwise you can't get in unless you are seeing a show. Summary: If you are going to go without a show, make you sure you on a day when they are giving tours. Otherwise it's worth just looking... More

We bought our tickets on the official website in advance. the seats we had booked were unavailable but we received an email saying we had been allocated better seats at the same price. The Bolshoi Theatre itself is a must see inside but if you are in Moscow long enough and are prepared to take a chance there are cheaper... More

A beautiful theatre in which to watch ballet by the most famous company - the Bolshoi. Tickets, however, are horribly expensive and should be bought well in advance. And the Russian audience do insist on clapping and cheering at many points during the performance! Well worth a visit though.

Great, huge and magnificent. Like everything in Moscow. Please buy the ticket in advance but it's really worth. You can purchase the tickets on the internet side: http://www.bolshoi.ru/en/

I didn't rate this much cause I tried getting tickets and after the manager of the theatre saying ok pay through the link I had, they ended up selling the ticket on me. And I even got my Russian friends to call them and organise it. So if your going to book, make sure you book early like a month... More

It was a thrill just to be in the theater however not being an opera fan, I would have preferred a ballet. We got tickets from someone selling them in Red Square. Our tour guide recommended him and we purchased them at a reasonable price. Cheaper than online.

The ballet (The Flames of Paris) was being performed during our visit and we had the foresight to buy tickets before our holiday. The ballet was being staged at New Stage rather than the original theatre which was a shame but the ballet itself was stunning.

Despite a renovation not really done to the identical (especially in regards to the material used for the renovation) you cant escape from admiring the beauty of the site. it is pure beauty and magnificent !
