With Oleg Dal'. I think it was his last role. Should be available on vhs. I recommend it.
BDT doesn't tell me much, because I never saw it live, but I've seen several tv-broadcasts of the plays. I saw Lebedev in Holstomer a long time ago.
In 1999 I saw a MHAT premiere of Midsummer Night's Dream in Moscow, and even though I am hardly a theater buff, I liked it a lot! It was probably tought to get the tickets for that, since my brother had to get us "contramarkas" from his friend, actor Liubshin's(ne streliate v belih lebedei) son. Same was with the circus, which I insisted on seeing after not being in Moscow since 1981. So, the theater scene is popular, I guess. perhaps nobody's asking for tickets because not too many people can afford them. $5-10 is indeed a lot of money.

After all, if they have no bread, they should be eating pastries instead...
Sad, sad world...
On a serious note, I was really pleased to see the sell-out crowds at the Philarmonia, and many other places, and one had to fight through thick, thick crowds at Dom Knigi (the main book store in Petersburg) to even get to the counters. And the cash registers there were ringing non-stop - I know, I did my share.
Unfortunately, only very few movie theaters still remain in the city - most have been converted into casino's, strip clubs, etc.
Something definitely IS wrong with them Russians.
