VISITING THEATRE

There is a great number of theatres in Russia, but the most famous of them are in Moscow. If you want to visit a theatre, you need to buy a ticket. Sometimes it is difficult to buy a ticket right before the show, and one have to do it an advance. Supposed, now you have bought the ticket.You pass through an entrarce and go to the cloakroom to leave your coat there. In the foyer you are offered binoculars and the programm, in which they mention tonight’s show actors, the producer and the artists.Then you enter the hall. There are rows of seats here. There is a pit near the stage. There are boxes on both sides of the pit. The boxes tickets are most expensive and prestigious. A dress-circle is higher than the pit. The balconies are higher than the dress-circle. There is a beautiful chandelier in the hall. The chapest tickets are for the second and the third level balconies, so most of the audience are students and youth there. All theatres differ from each other. They stage their plays, have their actors and actreesses. But on the other hand all theatres have a box-offlice, a cloak-room and almost all theatre performances begin at the same time in all theatres.I am a theatre lover. I prefer to attend drama theatres and the Bolshoi. Since I like to sit in the pi I try to buy tickets beforehand. Usually I look through a playbill before going to the theatres.Two months ago I saw “Duck Hunting” by Vampilov in Sovremennik Theatre. The play was exciting. The main role was played by Oleg Junkovsky,one of my most favourite actors. I think he is very talented. My seat was near the stage. The performance had two parts. As usually, I went to cafe and had a cake and a cup of tea during the interval. There was a storm of applauds in the end. On the way home we discussed the play with my brother. Usually I go to theatre with my friends. I like to discuss the play if I have seen it with my friends .Someimcs they show theatre productions and musicals on TV. They are quite interesting because you can see the play of the famous actors fróm abroad. But the impression is quite different becausce there is no curtain and the darkness of the hall and your applauds could not be heard by the actors you liked. Live theatre is much better.I have a dream to go to London and visit some plays in the Royal Shakespeare Company, Old Vic Theatre and the National Theatre.
