Russia » Entertainment in Moscow

Moscow is one of the world's major capital cities, with entertainment and nightlife to match. The customary offerings of classical music and drama have been joined in recent years by a lively and often profligate collection of nightclubs. Russia's great heritage of classical music is reflected in the quality of its orchestras and orchestral venues. The Bolshoi Theatre is a world-renowned institution and the jewel in the crown of Moscow's cultural nightlife. 

Modern Moscow may be an aggressively commercial and openly materialistic place, but theatre and the arts still play a special role in the city's life. The breadth and range of drama theatres more than rivals that of any other major capital. The following is but a handful of what is on offer. The Hollywood blockbusters can be found at the American House of Cinema, Moscow's most glitzy film house. Pod Kupolom and the Kinomir cinema both offer much the same in terms of films on offer.

Moscow is home to one of the world's most hedonistic nightlife scenes which are as fiercely fashionable as anything in the West.
