About Us

The Bolshoi Theatre is again to produce the most caustic and paradoxical of Rimsky-Korsakov’s operas, the most “unfairytale-like” of all his tales, the tale about the golden cockerel.

A memorial plaque, dedicated to the remarkable Russian choreographer, Merited Artist of the Imperial Theatres, Alexander Gorsky (1871-1924) who, for well nigh quarter of a century (1902-1924) headed the Bolshoi Theatre Ballet Company and made a huge contribution to the formation of the Moscow style of Russian classical ballet, returned to its rightful place on the house — No 4/2 Bolshaya Dmitrovka Street (today the Bolshoi Theatre New Stage) — where the choreographer lived at the beginning of the last century.
