Спереводом) theatre has always played an important role in the life of the russian people. people like to go to the theatres to see interesting performances, to enjoy beautiful architecture. a theatrical performance is always a mystery. moscow is proud of the bolshoy, maly and art theatres. the bolshoy theatre is world-famous for its excellent companies and wonderful acting. almost all foreign tourists, who come to moscow, visit at least one of these theatres. the bolshoy theatre amazes us with its grandeur and splendour. i visited this theatre several times. i attended the bolshoy theatre for the first time when i was 10 years old. it made a deep impression on me. recently i happened to hear two operas there. they were "traviata" and "aida". i liked "traviata" best. the opera was in italian and i could understand almost nothing. moreover, i did not know the subject. but the music was so magnificent that nothing could irritate me. a visit to the theatre is one of the most popular cultural amusements in russia.
