transliteration

[edit]

Why not "bolshoy?" I was of the impression й is traditionally transliterated as y, as per pronounciation. --NEMT 02:19, 8 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The website www.bolshoi.ru uniformly spells it with an i on their English pages; Google reports a slight preponderence for y on the web as whole. Robert Greer 16:48, 4 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Ballet navigation box

[edit]

This article is about a theatre so I don't think a general ballet project navigation box is appropriate here. What do other people think? P.S. I would not be in favour of a general opera box or a general Russia box either. --Kleinzach 00:58, 24 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Agree with Kleinzach - not a general ballet article. The tag has been improved but opera houses are not for "ballet" only. It is not suitable to add on a "huge" template of ballet in it - Jay (talk) 02:45, 24 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Great performers of the Bolshoi Theatre

[edit]

The section on great conductors, singers and dancers is needed. Great singers: Chaliapin, Nezhdanova, Derzhinskaia, Sobinov to name a few. Semimartingale (talk) 00:24, 22 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

If you know them and have sources for it, you should definitely add them in.Meatsgains (talk) 03:01, 29 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
[edit]

It is by no means useful to have "Prince Urussov" linked from here not to a biographical article on the guy but rather to the section "History" of the article "Bolshoi ballet", where we do not learn any more about him... If and when there is no article on him, let's be honest and say so and not lead people down the garden path... --Terminally uncool (talk) 08:20, 28 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Bolshoi Theatre
The Bolshoi Theatre is a historic theatre in Moscow, Russia, which holds ballet and opera performances. The company was founded on 28 March [O.S. 17 March] 1776, when Catherine the Great granted Prince Pyotr Urusov a licence to organise theatrical performances, balls and other forms of entertainment. Usunov set up the theatre in collaboration with English tightrope walker Michael Maddox. The present building was built between 1821 and 1824 and designed by architect Joseph Bové.Photograph: DmitriyGuryanov
