The oldest theater in Moscow, rebuilt following a fire and later a hurricane, is magnificent both inside and out, and its resident opera and ballet troupes rate among the finest in the world.

ABOVE ALL ELSE use the official website and ignore all others. We booked for the ballet, scheduled for the 30th April, which was of course cancelled due to the virus. The refund appeared on my credit card exactly 30 days later, exactly as promised. Booking was straightforward, and prices cheaper than the Royal Opera House, and we managed to book the front Row, Seats A6 and 7! Communications, in English and Russian, were excellent. I would not hesitate to use that official website in future -most impressive, secure and efficient.

I always liked this monastery. I visited it often because I lived nearby. By Kozitsky lane I came unto the Bolshaya Dmitrovka, just across was the perpendicular street, named after known actor Moskvin (currently, Petrovsky lane) with the house in which lived the poet Esenin, and from there, a little ahead and obliquely, was already seen the entrance to the monastery. Especially strong impression was made by the central, having no any resemblances to some other, the Cathedral of Peter the Metropolitan, although visually it is almost the smallest in the complex of the monastery, and the Bogolyubskaya church, with more traditional appearance, to the left of the first. The importance of the Cathedral is well evidenced by the fact that the whole area around it from the very beginning was bearing its name - Petrovka street, Petrovsky Boulevard, and now Petrovsky lane. Now it looks much more elegant, because the restoration is almost complete, and even in the Bogolyubskaya church the services are held
