It seats over two thousand people in a realm of hanging chandeliers, gold decoration and red velvet furnishings. The Bolshoi has a history that’s almost as dramatic as one of its performances. The original theatre was Prince Urussov’s Public Opera and Ballet Theatre, commissioned by Catherine the Great in 1776 and backed by the Englishman Michael Maddox. The first disaster struck in 1805 when fire damaged it beyond repair. The architect, Osip Bove, designed a new building which opened in 1825.
