Somewhat unusual choice. 'Coppelia' isn't a very populated ballet, at home they had moved it to the New Stage with less than 900 seats. Here in Novosibirsk the theatre is the biggest in the country – that is, the building, the seating capacity of the main hall after the renovation is about 1400, as far as I remember. And they are always full-booked! Like all theatres designed in 1930-s it is planned as circles going around the stage; no boxes, just one 'open space'. The good thing is that the view is fairly good thanks to very steep steps. That is unless you have a seat somewhere in the corner. But you really don't need to do that, as the tickets are not so awfully expensive, compared with what we are used to in Moscow. The ballet was really charming! It's sort of a fairy-tale, based on Hoffmann's works, but much more cheerful. To enhance the magic they used modern visual graphics; I am generally not a huge fan, but to my surprise it merged well with the traditional ballet skills. I've heard sometimes they offer backstage tours, or maybe, guided tours around the building - very much worth a visit; a splendidly furbished foyer, and the newly-renovated audience-hall. Highly recommend!

One of the oldest Russian music theatres which remains true to itself in developing opera and ballet art.

Folks, you've got to see this! Not many of you had ever heard of the town of Perm, yet they have an outstanding ballet company here. I have just watched their 'La Bayadere', a very worthy work indeed, rich costumes and stage design. How they manage with their budget I don't know. Having watched a very pale 'Nutcracker' in Opera de Paris where modest tickets come up to 150 euro, I always admire our regional theatres, somehow they find the means to splash out very decent settings. The dancers are beyond all praise, not just the main character, I absolutely loved their corps de ballet. And the girl who danced the title part is blessed with very good acting skills as well. The building is a monument of art as such. Did you know they had rebuilt it leaving the old walls inside? And they have about 3 feet of powdered glass under the orchestra pit for better acoustics. Take a theatre tour if you have time, it's worth it!
