250 anniversary ✨ The Bolshoi Theatre survived fires and rebuilds. This year marks 250 years since Catherine the Great signed the decree that started it all. Swipe through to see how the theatre in the heart of Moscow became a symbol of Russian art itself — the red-and-gold hall, the mysterious Apollo above the stages, the chandelier, and the hidden world running beneath it all. Which fact surprised you the most? ⭕️ The InteRussia Fellowship in Theatre Arts is implemented by Mezhdunarodniki Autonomous Non-Profit Organisation in cooperation with the Gorchakov Fund, GITIS and TV BRICS International Media Network. The programme is implemented as part of Rossotrudnichestvo’s flagship New Generation initiative with grant support from the Presidential Grants Foundation. #InteRussia #Theatre #PresidentialGrantsFoundation 1️⃣1️⃣1️⃣
