Un poco de historia
The theatre is named after Empress Maria Alexandrovna, wife of Tsar Alexander II, and a bust of her is in the main entrance foyer. Through most of the Soviet era, it was known as the Kirov Theatre. The building's predecessor, the Bolshoi Kamenny Theatre, opened in 1783 and was renovated in 1836. The current building originally opened as an equestrian circus in 1849, designed by architect Albert Cavos. The Imperial Ballet and Opera moved here in 1886. World premieres included Mussorgsky's Boris Godunov (1874), Tchaikovsky's The Queen of Spades (1890) and Iolanta (1892), and Prokofiev's Romeo and Juliet (1940).
