Theaters & Concert Halls in Moscow

Moscow is rightly considered one of Theatre's world capitals, even though the city's theatrical heritage dates back only to the middle of the 18^th century, to the founding of The Comedy House in the Preobrazhensky Village, and the Palace of Entertainments in the Kremlin, which used the fortress's peasantry as actors. The theatrical world of the city has grown quickly and now, only 250 years later, there are around 70 theatres and a number of concert halls in the Russian capital.

Tickets for plays and concerts can be bought directly from theatre and concert hall box offices, or from kiosks called "Teatralnaya Kassa", which can be found in underpasses, inside or near the entrances to almost every central metro station.

Opera and Ballet Moscow is an excellent city for opera and ballet lovers, and there is always something for them to see, with a varied mixture of traditional and contemporary performances.  ›››
