Lonely Planet review for Musical Comedy Theatre

Formerly the Palace Theatre, this neoclassical beauty on pl Iskusstv (Arts Sq) was built in 1801 as a palace. Only in the 20th century was it redesigned, and it opened as a theatre in 1912. It is famous as one of the few theatres that stayed open throughout the blockade. Recently renovated, the place still retains the opulent atmosphere of a palace, with a gorgeous gala staircase and a famous ‘grotto buffet’. These days it hosts a wide variety of musical and theatrical performances, including crowd-pleasing classical ballets and operas.
