We went to the Gorky Theater performance, it is currently under reconstruction and the production was on the stage of the Palace of Trade Unions. The architecture is impressive, there are many details that I want to consider, and I liked the performance itself.
But ... the performance began according to the poster at 19:00, we arrived in 10 minutes and the doors to the auditorium were still closed, imagine a crowd of people standing in the lobby, not to push through. And that's not all, at the end of the performance, the doors of the exit from the palace were also closed! Safety at altitude is simple, there are no words!
As for the hall, if I had known earlier that it was not convenient to sit on the tiers from above, I would have taken only the stalls, it was not so convenient for me in any theater. There were two rows on the tier, the first row was ordinary chairs (and then people had to lean on the curb and look out to see something), the second row was ottomans near the wall 😅 hard))) especially when the performance is 2h45min (albeit with one intermission).
But now I know which tickets are worth taking and which are not

I was here for a dance competition. It is easy to get there, there is a metro station nearby. The staff is polite, attentive, helpful. The hall is good. The seats are comfortable. Good visibility and audibility everywhere. I haven't been behind the scenes.

A spacious, beautiful building with several floors, which hosts various events, including performances. There is a buffet in the building. The staff is polite and cultured.
