We first visited the Bolshoi in 1972, during the Soviet Union era and failed to gain entry as we did not have enough cigarettes to bribe the ticket sellers.

The Bolshoi Theatre is a historic theatre in Moscow, Russia, originally designed by architect Joseph Bové, which holds ballet and opera performances. Before the October Revolution it was a part of the Imperial Theatres of the Russian Empire along with Maly Theatre in Moscow and a few theatres in Saint Petersburg.
