As the center stage of Russian musical and performance culture, the Bolshoi Theater has throughout the years reflected all major phases in the development of Russian and world music and the performing arts. This Repertoire, left in manuscript by the author when he died in 1973, lists all productions of the Bolshoi Theater from its opening more than 200 years ago through 1955, including operas, ballets, plays and special events. This is the most complete work of its kind ever published. Included are descriptions of many operas and ballets that were previously undiscovered and are otherwise unknown.
