In the distant past, at the confluence of Neglinnaya to the Moscow River on the Borovitsky Cape, the first settlement of the future Moscow appeared. In 1147, Prince Yuri Dolgoruky gave his feast here. This annalistic mention went down in history as the year of our foundation. At that time the settlement was surrounded by a rampart and wooden walls. In this place, Yuri Dolgoruky in 1156, settles down the fortress, which became the famous Moscow Kremlin. The fires in Moscow at that time were not uncommon. In 1337, almost the whole city burned, so by 1340 the Kremlin was surrounded by new oak walls. The next fire of 1354 is again destroyed by the Kremlin. Repeated event occurs in another 10 years. The rulers of the city urgently needed a solution to this problem. Dmitry Ivanovich decides to surround the Kremlin with stone fortifications. Begin dense work on the delivery of limestone, and from 1368 in the city rise white stone walls. Litsy.Sovremenny view of the Kremlin was formed in 1485-1495 on the initiative of Ivan III. In construction, a large number of the best architects of "All Russia" were involved. Also on the construction of walls and towers of the fortress, Italian masters in the field of construction of defensive structures were involved. The Italians at that time were building Moscow everywhere, but nevertheless the original Russian designs were not killed, foreign influence vanished. The first Taynitskaya Tower in the Kremlin was built in 1485 by Anton Fryazin. There were also secret passages to the river and a well, which provides defenders of the fortress with water. In 1487 the south-eastern corner was occupied by Beklemishevskaya round tower by Marco Fryazin. A little later, all the other towers of the Kremlin were built.
There are not many theatres in my town, but they are all very popular with the public. I am a theatre lover, too. As for me, I prefer drama to all other theatres, but I also like opera and musical comedy.
I’ll never forget my first visit to the Opera and Ballet Theatre. My friend and I wanted to see the famous ballet “Swan Lake” by Tchaikovskyi. We bought the tickets in advance and came to the theatre half an hour before the show. At 7 sharp the performance began. From the very first minute I was deeply impressed by everything I saw on the stage. The costumes were fine. The dancing and music were thrilling. The ballet seemed to me a fairy-tale. I had never seen anything more wonderful. My friend also enjoyed every minute of it. When the curtain fell at the end of the performance, there came a storm of applause. It seemed that it would never end. The dancers received call after call. They were presented with large bouquets of flowers. We also applauded enthusiastically. The performance was a great success.

В моем городе не так много театров, но все они очень популярны среди населения. Я тоже любитель театра. Что касается меня, я предпочитаю драматический всем другим театрам, но я также люблю оперу и музыкальную комедию.
Я никогда не забуду мой первый визит в Театр оперы и балета. Мой друг и я хотели посмотреть знаменитый балет Чайковского "Лебединое озеро". Мы купили билеты заранее, и пришли в театр за полчаса до шоу. Ровно в 7 началось представление. С первой же минуты я был глубоко впечатлен всем, что видел на сцене. Костюмы были хороши. Танцы и музыка были захватывающими. Балет показался мне сказкой. Я никогда не видел ничего прекраснее. Мой друг и я наслаждались каждой минутой. Когда занавес опустился в конце спектакля, раздался взрыв аплодисментов. Казалось, что этому не будет конца. Танцоров вызывали снова и снова. Им подарили большие букеты цветов. Мы также аплодировали с энтузиазмом. Спектакль имел большой успех.
