The book is dedicated to the anniversary of the Bolshoi Theater. In 2026, the main theater of the country turns 250 years old. This large gift edition with bright illustrations on coated paper will tell about the rich and complicated history of the theater. It has suffered fires, crises, wars and revolutions. But it did not sink into oblivion, survived and increased its wealth, earning the title of the main theater of the country. How did a once seedy court theater manage to become a standard in the world of theatrical art? This book will tell you about it.

You will learn how the theater was born and who brought theatrical art to Russia. Who is an interpreter and why is he needed in a court theater. You will get acquainted with iconic productions: "Khorev", "Oedipus Rex", "A Life for the Tsar", "Boris Godunov".

You will discover people of the theater: Bove, Marius Petipa, Glinka, Musorgsky, Rachmaninov, Chaliapin, Plisetskaya, and many others. And so that you don’t get bored, the stories about the greats will be diluted with theatrical tales, legends, and behind-the-scenes intrigues.

You will see that the “standard of theatrical art” is not just empty words. The book will be an excellent gift for experienced theatergoers and those who are just beginning to get acquainted with the intricacies of theatrical art.
