Om
Raske fakta: The auditorium features six tiers of seating and a chandelier with over 13,000 crystals weighing more than two tons. Its famous acoustic shell is made of German silver and spruce, designed to project every whisper from the stage to the top balcony.
Høydepunkter: Every performance opens with the theater's massive five-ton curtain, hand-painted with gold scenes from Russian folklore, rising in under 30 seconds. No microphones are used anywhere on stage: the entire 1,800-seat hall relies solely on its natural acoustics, so singers must project their voices to the very top balcony.
Insidertips
- Dress in formal attire: locals wear suits and cocktail dresses, and jeans may get you turned away from the pricier sections.
- Arrive 45 minutes early to explore the grand foyer and its marble staircases without the rush crowd.
- Skip the coat check line by arriving with small bags only: bulky coats must be checked and the queue gets long.
- Book tickets for the Fourth Tier for the most dramatic view looking straight down at the stage and chandelier.
