this is a rare sight viewed from the
outside wherever allowed backstage at
the Bolshoi Russia's most famous theater
especially not with a full house waiting
and curtain rise just minutes away
bolshoy is Russian for beer and a
production here is definitely bad
hundreds of people musicians technicians
and dancers are preparing for tonight's
performance
but the most pressure is on 19 year-old

towards maksimova finally retired from

many of his fellow performers believed
he wasn't up to the role they went on

Russian leaders from Czar Alexander to
Stalin and Gorbachev were regular
visitors to the bolshoy and many of
Russia's most famous operas and ballets
were premiered here but today this once
grand theater is falling victim to age
there's been no serious renovation or
upgrade of equipment since the present
building was constructed in eighteen
fifty six fewer patrons are being seated
in the balconies for fear they could
collapse and the performers treated like
royalty under the communist system now
in a base wage of around 35 US dollars a

financially things are tough the

it's ironic that spare tire should have
to worry about money the theater is sold
out for almost every performance
audience members pay huge sums for
tickets but most of this never makes it
to the theater
scalpers have taken control of ticket
sales and it is now impossible to buy a
ticket conventionally if you want to see
a performance you have to negotiate with
scalpers like Igor salmon any others
yeah them they shall we see if we
compared to stony yeah what specifically
around Chelsea the bolshoy has a policy
of keeping ticket prices as low as
possible this just makes the Mafia's
profits all the higher what could be the

that the going price for a ticket in the
first row of the Bolshoi Theatre is 250
US dollars the price on the ticket 100
rubles or five US dollars which makes a
profit for these guys of 245 US dollars
although people are obviously prepared
to pay the Mafia's ticket prices Vasili

his little money coming in and many of

the standard of performances has also
come under criticism the Bolshoi is
accused of being conservative in its
choice of repertoire and productions
but it is still conservative and like
they still maintain the same kind of
boring for this station prefer
Yvonne Salman is a dancer from Siberia
who immigrated to the west in 1991 he
now lives in Australia they still have
not very open mind and not that those
dances probably would like to do
something different and to work with
different Western choreographers but the
people who stand in charge they still
have the same Soviet mentality they not
changed we already know cases when
people expect something big from ballet
theatre and then they disappointed
despite all its problems a night at the
Bolshoi can still be an extraordinary
experience tonight's performance is a
ballet based on a Chekhov play unmute ah

there are many challenges ahead for a

regain some of its former glory
holding on to it stars will be the most
crucial
at least the company can count on
Svetlana she is not about to be wooed by
a lucrative offer from the west the
