Bolshoy
Привет. Bolshoy Theatre article needed a proper revision for quite a while, good start.

May I recommend to be extremely careful with "first of" and "founding" dates - these are areas of debate, and even the theatres themselves change their minds all the time (Maly went from 1824 to 1806 to 1756 in less than twenty recent years) but one sure thing is that Maddox and Locatelli companies (and scores of their lesser known contemporaries) were forerunners to Bolshoy and Maly but not part of them. Here's a good roundup of events in Russian (from Maly perspective, but wth the two theatres were one institution for most of the 19th century). NVO (talk) 10:28, 28 August 2009 (UTC)
