Theatre Square anchors ul Petrovka with its
three grand theatres surrounding a wide
plaza and flowing fountain. The centrepiece,
of course, is the world-renowned Bolshoi
Theatre. The present pink-and-white beauty
was built in 1824, replacing the Petrovka
Theatre that previously stood on this site.
This historic theatre saw the premier of
Tchaikovsky’s
Swan Lake in 1877 and
The Nutcracker in 1919.
