Reconstruction in the theater "Russia" radically transformed the scheme of the hall. It would seem that comfortable, carefully planned seats for theater-goers should provide a beautiful view of the stage. Indeed, the visibility and acoustics in the theater are magnificent: the rows are fan-shaped, and the floor lift everywhere is enough for them to see well from anywhere, and extra pillows help children sit higher. But there are exceptions for individual seats.
Having made the decision to go to the performance of the Rossiya Theater, it is better to study the layout of the hall before reserving tickets. This will help to choose the best places in accordance with the planned amount of money.
Parterre
In the central part of the two front rows of the stalls, the fencing of the service area in front of the stage prevents a full-fledged review. The best visual perception of the stage is from the fifth row, where the ascent begins. Visibility from all over the stalls is wonderful at the Rossiya Theater. The layout of the hall does not indicate, but, starting from the 11th, the rows are raised above the first ten. So the review in the eleventh is better than in the previous two rows. At the extreme places 10 to 17, the sound coming from the speakers is louder and more intense than we would like for a comfortable perception.
Balcony
The panorama of the spectacle from all places of the first row of the balcony is simply crossed out by the fence. The wall hiding the mixing console limits the field of view of theater-goers to four central places (two on each side of the console) of the twelfth row. These places can be found on the scheme of the hall of the theater "Russia". Otherwise, from the balcony, thanks to a significant rise, the scene is viewed perfectly, and the performance is visible in detail.
These comments are subjective and, perhaps, do not correspond to every opinion of visitors to the Rossiya Theater in Moscow. The layout of the hall and the above notes would hopefully be useful to fans of musicals who plan to soon enjoy a spectacular performance.
