The Bolshoi Theatre

40 The Bolshoi Theatre — one of the world's biggest and most spectacular theatres — is known in all four corners of the world as the home of the outstanding Bolshoi Opera and Ballet companies.

41 Located near Red Square in Moscow, the Bolshoi Theatre was built in 1824. Over 2,000 people can sit inside this magnificent theatre on red velvet seats, underneath elaborate lights and beautiful gold decorations. It is simply impossible not to be amazed by a visit to the incredible Bolshoi Theatre — and that's before a performance has even begun!

42 During its long history, the theatre has seen performances by some of Russia's most famous artists and by some of the world's best-loved composers. It has also survived some tough moments: three fires, the construction of the Moscow metro line underneath it and bombing during the war.

43 In 2005, engineers announced that the Bolshoi Theatre was extremely unstable and that it could fall down at any time. So that same summer, the theatre was closed and repair work began at great cost. Currently, the reconstruction of the Bolshoi Theatre is expected to be completed around 2011.

44 When the theatre reopens, several things will have changed. But one thing won't, which is the theatre's appearance. Every step is being taken to make absolutely certain that this magnificent theatre, when it reopens, will look exactly as it always did.

Teenagers in their free time

A I usually meet my friends down at the multiplex on a Saturday and we decide what to watch. There's always something new out that we want to see. Luckily, we have the same tastes and don't spend too long deciding. We love talking about it afterwards – especially the new technology and the special effects that they use. It's my favourite pastime!

B I spend a lot of my time shopping. I love to shop on my own or with my friends and I spend most of my money on new gadgets and clothes. But, I am very careful with what I buy. I always spend time window shopping first and make sure I am getting a good price. It's brilliant when you find a really nice top that everyone thinks you paid a fortune for, when in fact it cost you next to nothing!

C I have always been a very active person, always trying new sports and spending my time keeping fit. I don't like sitting in front of the TV or going to the cinema like the rest of my friends. I enjoy sport, not only because it is healthy, but also because it is a good way to meet people. I'm really into mountain biking at the moment and so I spend most weekends on trips sleeping out in tents – it's really cool!

D I'm crazy about all the new gadgets that come out. I spend most of my free time shopping or surfing on the Internet to check out the prices. The trouble is nothing stays new for very long and you have to upgrade all the time. My mum says it's unusual that I spend so much on things I don't need. I can't help it – it's my passion!

E You might think it strange that I spend so much time at the dog training centre. Most people my age are more interested in playing on the computer or going shopping. But it's great to work with animals. My dog, Max, has become so obedient now and I've even helped train my neighbour's dog as well. It started out as a hobby, but who knows? I might decide to do it as a career.
