Bolshoi Theatre
The Bolshoi Theatre () is a historic theatre in Moscow, Russia, designed by architect Joseph Bové, which holds performances of ballet and opera. The theatre's original name was the ''Imperial Bolshoi Theatre of Moscow'', while the St. Petersburg Bolshoi Theatre (demolished in 1886), was called the ''Imperial Bolshoi Kamenny Theatre''.
At that time, all Russian theatres were imperial property. Moscow and St. Petersburg each had only two theatres, one intended for opera and ballet (these were known as the ''Bolshoi'' Theatres), and one for plays (tragedies and comedies). Because opera and ballet were considered nobler than drama, the opera houses were named "Grand Theatres" ("Bolshoi" is Russian for "large" or "grand") and the drama theatres were called the "Smaller Theatre" ("Maly" is Russian for "small", "lesser", or "little").
The Bolshoi Ballet and Bolshoi Opera are amongst the oldest and most renowned ballet and opera companies in the world. It is by far the world's biggest ballet company, having more than 200 dancers. The theatre is the parent company of The Bolshoi Ballet Academy, a world-famous leading school of ballet. It has a branch at the Bolshoi Theatre School in Joinville, Brazil.
The main building of the theatre, rebuilt and renovated several times during its history, is a landmark of Moscow and Russia (its iconic neoclassical facade is depicted on the Russian 100-ruble banknote). On 28 October 2011, the Bolshoi was re-opened after an extensive six-year renovation.〔("Bolshoi Theatre to reopen after major refit" ), ''BBC News'' on bbc.co.uk, 28 October 2011〕 The official cost of the renovation is 21 billion rubles ($688 million). However, other Russian authorities and other people connected to it claimed much more public money was spent.〔(Bolshoi Theater to reopen after restoration ) The Moscow Times, retrieved 11 Feb 2013〕〔(Jealousy and corruption rumors surround attack on Bolshoi director ), Der Spiegel, retvieved 11 Feb 2013〕 The renovation included restoring acoustics to the original quality (which had been lost during the Soviet Era), as well as restoring the original Imperial decor of the Bolshoi.〔
