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.

Have  you ever thought why we remember Levitan, Rubens, Rahmaninov and other great people so long?  They devoted most of their life to creating beautiful things.  Not all of them lived a long life.  For example, the great English poet Shelley was only 29 when he died.  But he left unforgettable poems and is remembered by the thankful people,  You remember "The Dance of the Little Swans" and "The Waltz of the Flowers", don't you?  This wonderful music was composed by the  great composer, Pyotr Tchaikovsky.  He died more than a hundred years ago, but his misuc still lives on.  All this proves that art is long but life is short.  And if you create an exceptional thing in your lifetime, you might remain in people's memories for ever. Don't waste you life on useless things, do something nice and valuable.
