Concert halls Moscow (Москва)

The architecture of the site is more impressive than its content. The circus, promoted as a major art form under the USSR, has since fallen from its pedestal and lost popular favor. Today it seems a bit dull compared to what the capital has to offer in terms of entertainment. The famous ice acts are among the great losses of this era. If the acts of the Grand Cirque no longer revolutionize the genre, the talent of the artists is still present.

An old-fashioned charm, even if its very aesthetic renovation interweaves ancient elements and modern architectural structures. This circus specializes in trapeze and acrobatics. Taken over in 1989 by the famous clown and actor Yuri Nikulin, this more than centenary institution is once again imposing itself on the international scene after a long eclipse. After his death in 1997, the circus took Nikulin's name and continues to be taught under the direction of his son.

Igor Butman is one of the most famous jazzmen in Russia. His famous club opened in 2007 is the epicenter of jazz in the capital. This club has a lot of charm and has seen such great names as the Dizzie Gillespie All-Star Big Band, Bill Evans or Dave Holland. Every Monday, Igor Butman himself performs here with his big band. Finally, the establishment has a busy events calendar, every month a new project is put forward. This ranges from a festival to a celebration, like the Beatlemania Festival or the Cinema Jazz Awards.

This theatre specialising in traditional gypsy dance and music was created in 1930 and remains the only gypsy theatre in the world! Gypsy culture has always played a role in Russia, Pushkin himself having set the fashion for an interest in Gypsy culture in cultivated circles after his famous poem Gypsy. Romen has a political purpose, it is an original theater that leads a gypsy interpretation of the rich traditional Russian repertoire.

Twenty shows a year, under the leadership of the director and director of this theatre, Pavel Homski. Major European ballet troops (Pina Bausch, for example) are also regularly hosts. A good room, both for acoustics and visibility.

Cinema room in honour of the famous Russian director Eldar Riazanov. In addition to the screening of the films of this highly acclaimed filmmaker, we can appreciate the visit of the various small galleries in the corridors, honouring the masterpieces of the scriptwriter but also attending concerts and thematic evenings (literary). One of the three restaurants is also the Restorative film studio of the famous film Zestoki novels.

An intimate cinema that makes movies late in the evening. The seats provided for couples were appreciated.

Two good reasons that have attracted the public to this place since 2000. First, the excellent rock concerts (the sound is good and the bands are promising). Second (a little less glorious) the face control is very soft where in general Moscow bouncers often become very selective. Here you always enter with the other partygoers who want to land softly or put a little layer on. New friends for breakfast. Isn't life beautiful?

This cinema is a bit like the Moscow Film Archive. Installed in one of the seven Stalinist towers, this cinema is known for its programming of Indian and European films in the original language, and for its French programming in particular. The theatre has been recently restored and can now accommodate 220 spectators. Since 2005, a French film club has been held on Tuesday evenings once a month. Classical and contemporary films in French are screened there. To find out more about the programme, visit the French Cultural Centre's website.

It is one of Moscow's best theatres, both by its repertoire and by its actors. Marc Zakharov, his principal director, produces Russian parts: Chekhov's Seagull, The Sage of Ostrovsky, Prayer for the dead of Gorine, but also foreign coins like Le Noir de Figaro de Beaumarchais. The theatre became famous thanks to its musical rock-opera Younona and Avos, which strangely was not banned in 1979 despite the presence of religious songs. This is the true story of a Russian naval expedition led by Count Riazanov in 1806, which during his trip to Aliaska (belonging to Russia at the time) falls in love with the daughter of the Commander of California and who, in order to marry a Catholic, return to Saint Petersburg to have the authorization of the czar. He died on the road to Krasnoiarsk at the age of 42. The troupe has known artists such as O. Yankovsky and I. Tchourikova.

In the avant-garde and underground branch, this cinema wins the palm. The origins of: a film magazine, Cinefantom, created in 1985 and 1987 by the Aleïnikov brothers and gave birth to the first non-professional and non-formal film festival. The projections take place on Wednesday at 20 pm, sometimes in the presence of the director and most of the time followed by debates. A enthusiastic meeting, the goal is simple, it is to watch movies that it is impossible to see in cinema or on television. Choice of films: no language or country barrier and a central theme, experimental video and video-art. This clubs, as it would be more appropriate to designate it, has now formed a faithful audience that makes room every time and whose love of the image revives the surprise and emotion of the first halls Louis Lumière.

One of the most famous jazz clubs in Moscow. Built in 2007, it has already reached a legendary status, having hosted many prestigious musicians and produced several festivals. With a capacity of 110 seats, it organizes concerts every night at 8:30 pm, of course jazz, but also blues, rock & roll. It is possible to reserve a table for dinner, to moisten your lips in good wines or even to find Cuban cigars of reference.

A young opera run by the very talented Dimitri Bergsman. Classical opera in modern and sometimes disrespectful versions. There were operas like Chostakovithch's Lady Macbeth, whose eloquence of some scenes and the frenetic character of the partition had won him an attack on Pravda and its ban in 1936. The Hélicon is therefore reserved for lovers of the show and the avant-garde. However, the reputation of this opera makes the squares very difficult to obtain, sometimes several months in advance.

Even American films in V.O., the Russian speakers are entitled to helmet. A large room with sound sound quality.

This theater apes the circus shows by staging animals in varied and impressive acts. It was opened in 1912, before the revolution. Because of the space, we have the right to a reduced model of the big shows, finally more adapted to the children. The parents accompanying the animals will not be able to remain indifferent to the passage of the train full of mice and driven by a cat or to the adorable acts performed by the dogs, the clever tricks of the monkeys and the gait of the elephants. The animals are trained ethically and without violence.

Recently renovated, one of the largest rooms in the center with the largest screen.

This place is a real enchantment for the children. The Obraztsov is one of the best puppet theatres in the world, which hosts all the greatest artists from the Russian Federation and beyond. In addition to the numerous shows, the programme of which can be found on the Internet, you will also visit their museum, which houses an impressive and unique collection of puppets of all styles, from antiquity to the present day.

It was conceived as a theatre of satire and humour by the Russian actor Arcadi Raykine. His son Constantine applied to continue her paternal work. Today, among other shows, he has a large number of musicals. Cyrano de Bergerac, Romeo and Juliet, The Imaginary Malade, Les Métamorphoses, are among his best known stories. This theatre, which is always one of the most popular, adapts to literary evolution with astonishing flexibility. A few years ago he staged the adaptation of the novel Cosmetic of the enemy of Amélie Nothomb.

A famous cinema to see contemporary classics. All year round, theme festivals are organized.
