History
Originally it was an Imperial
theatre. The architect who
designed the building of The
Bolshoi was Joseph Bove. It was
built between 1821 and 1824.
Since then, the building was
renovated and rebuilt several
times. However, it kept its original
imperial decorations. Today, it’s
not simply the building of the
theatre but it is also an
outstanding landmark of Moscow.
