Up to the fall of 2011th the Main Stage of Bolshoi Theatre will be closed for the reconstruction. Now the most part of the shows are performed on the New Stage and some performances are held on the stage of the Great Kremlin Palace. The New Stage is located quite cleverly so it's rather difficult to find it at the first time. Here's the map and some pictures of its interiors.
New Stage was opened in 2002th, on November, 29. A new scene is built close to the historic building of the Main Stage of Bolshoi, at the left side of it. Together with auxiliary buildings (a restored building of XVIII century, where to rehearsal halls, artists' recreation rooms) have a single theater complex, the Bolshoi Theatre of Russia. The new building is built on the natural hill. Just recently there were blocks of old houses with communal apartments.
