The current building was built on Theatre Square in 1824 to replace the Petrovka Theatre, which had been destroyed by fire in 1805. It was designed by architect Andrei , who had built the nearby Maly Theatre in 1824. At that time, all Russian theatres were imperial property. each had only two theatres, one intended for opera and ballet (these were known as the Bolshoi Theatres), and one for plays (tragedies and comedies). As opera and ballet were considered nobler than drama, the were named “Grand Theatres” (“Bolshoi” being the Russian for “large” or “grand”) and the were called “Smaller Theatre” (“Maly” being the Russian for “small,” “lesser,” or “little”).

The (or La Scala, as it is known), in Milan, Italy, is one of the world’s most famous . The theatre was inaugurated on 3 August 1778, under the name Nuovo Regio Ducal with Salieri’s Europa riconosciuta. A fire destroyed the previous theatre, the ancient Teatro Ducale, on 25 February 1776, after a carnival gala. A group of ninety wealthy Milanese, who owned palchi (private boxes) in the theatre, wrote to Archduke Ferdinand I of Austria asking for a new theatre and a provisional one to be used while completing the new one. The neoclassical architect Giuseppe Piermarini produced an initial design but it was rejected by Count Firmian (an Austrian governor). Milan is city of fashion and glamor. Great .
