National Academic Bolshoi Opera and Ballet Theatre

I really enjoyed my visit at Minsk Bolshoi, I saw, I enjoyed, I felt La Traviata and Carmen. The internal environment was amazing, the acoustics was great. One thing as the opera shall work with is to encourage their staff not to be afraid of their English. That woman I asked how I could find my seat, get scared as soon she heard that I'm English speaking and sad, No English, No English! Even then I showed her my ticket and pointed on the seatnumber, she sad No English. Another more forwardminded woman solved the problem, but in fact the first woman could speak English - she was just afraid to say something wrong and I told her not to be afraid because I realized . Next time I walked directly to her and gave her my ticket and that was easy because I had the same seat as the first time, but the was in this way in Russian. Another thing the should think about is to have programs in English, at least on request if they know that English speaking had ordered ticket, for me it would be an honor to have a program from Minsk Bolshoi to show people at home. I know its a cost to print, but in advance ask those who ordered ticket if they want - maybe a lighter version. But its still a wish to come back and enjoy opera in Minsk sooner, then later.
