Moscow is a thriving cultural capital
that has so much to offer visitors and
locals alike. Locals, however, will tell
you that there’s more to Moscow than
Tretyakovskaya Gallery or the Pushkin Museum. Sure, these are a must
but there are many other fascinating
museums and galleries that are definitely worth a visit but have remained
somewhat underrated.

The Kremlin
The street plan of central Moscow forms an impressively ordered pattern of
concentric circles, clearly marking the city’s development outwards over the
centuries. In the middle of this great Catherine wheel is the Kremlin, the fortified hill which formed the heart of the ancient city, and which to this day
houses the political HQ of the planet’s largest nation. Within the world-famous red walls nestles a collection of buildings of various architectural styles,
ranging from ancient Russian ecclesiastical, through Romanov imperial classicism, to 1960s Soviet modernism.
There are a number of ticket booths, the most important being located in
Alexandrovsky Sad (on the west side of the Kremlin), which in itself is a great
people watching place. Having bought your tickets, leave any large bags in
the cloakroom located near the ticket office, under the gate.
A ‘Kremlin Territory’ ticket gets you into the site itself, along with all of the cathedrals and the more ancient buildings. To visit the Kremlin Armoury (where
all the sparkly diamonds, jewels and so on are stored) you must buy a separate
- and considerably more expensive - ticket, which will have an entrance time
on it. This ticket can only be purchased before you enter the Kremlin or you can
buy it online at www.kreml.ru.

Samovars of the 18th-20th centuries
Few things are as redolent of Russia as a
piping hot samovar steaming away at the
table, dispensing limitless hot water for
cups of tea. This exhibition brings many
of the highlights of the Lobanov family
collection, covering the many shapes and
sizes of samovar that have been developed over the years including the famous
‘cockerel’ design that won a gold medal
at the 1873 World Expo in Vienna. There
are also a few celebrity urns. Perhaps the most intriguing is the samovar
set that the future Tsar Nikolai II was supposed to present to the Emperor
of Japan, while other figures from Russian history including Alexander
Blok, Vera Komissarzhevskaya and Denis Davydov also feature in this extensive survey of the samovar.QState Museum-Estate Arkhangelskoe,
5km Ilinskoe Shosse, MTushinskaya, tel. (+7) 498 653 86 60, www.

State Museum-Estate Arkhangelskoe
The aristocratic estate to the northwest of the capital was home to the
Yusupov family, and Prince Nikolai was
one of the most enthusiastic collectors of French art. His legacy includes
a collection of more than 100 works
from the late 18th and early 19th centuries. Frequent trips to the salons of
Paris saw him become the first man
to introduce the works of Horace Vernet and Marguerite Gérard to Russian
audiences. Those works form the centrepiece of the Arkhangelskoye show,
which includes 50 prime cuts from Yusupov’s galleries. The exhibition runs
until March 8, 2015.

with a dance floor for a romantic post dinner dance. For a particularly romantic experience take one of the evening boats and admire the bright
lights of the city skyline at night. Note that you can also join and depart
the cruise from the pier in Gorky Park (metro Park Kultury), although it

Cafe Chekhov
Set right next to the Chekhov theatre, the interior here is inspired by the great
playwright’s era. The dining room is decorated in beautiful bright white with
art nouveau cornices, stained glass lamps and even the waitresses wear contemporary costume. Chekhov boasts to serve ‘new Russian cuisine’, although
in our book there’s nothing Russian about pasta and ruccola. Their version
of borsch with apples in it is however a welcome innovation.QKamergersky per. 3, MTeatralnaya, tel. (+7) 495 629 06 16, www.cafe-chekhov.ru.

Cafe Pushkin
This aristocratic restaurant is extremely famous and just as popular with local
business men as passing tourists. Diplomats, bankers and Moscow’s rich and
famous now frequent it, but at one time it was the city’s only upper class
restaurant where you could eat European standard food. The Russian and
French cuisine recalls Tsarist times and on the first floor there is a sophisticated 24-hour café and a restaurant called the Library Room, which has a
splendid view of Tverskoy Bulvar.QB-2, Tverskoy bul. 26a, MTverskaya, tel.

Odessa Mama
Drawing inspiration from the slightly raffish Ukrainian port that launched a
thousand summer holiday memories, it presents a range of childhood favorites in an atmosphere that has had crowds flocking to the large dining
hall near Chistiye Prudy. Meanwhile, a nod to Odessa’s Jewish heritage brings
a couple of items that you won’t find in your staff canteen - the hummus,
currently Moscow’s most fashionable dish, is worth a look. If you grew up in
the USSR, this is like going back to your carefree childhood; if you didn’t it’s

Bring on the Bliny
From February 23 until April 11
(Orthodox Easter) don’t be surprised if most restaurants you visit
have a special post or lent menu
for the period of fasting before
Easter. In the Russian Orthodox
Church Lenten requirements are
very strict. On the dietary front all
kinds of meat, poultry, fish, dairy
products, eggs, alcohol and most
types of oil are off the menu. So
what can you eat then? Shellfish, fruits, vegetables and grains are all
thankfully allowed, so no-one starves. However, the period before post,
known in Russia as Maslenitsa is a feeding and partying frenzy. Everyday from February 16 - 22 Russians stuff themselves with pancakes
(bliny) and a festive atmosphere generally takes over the whole city.
Typically the largest epicenter of activities is the area in and around
Red Square.

You know how people often tell you that once you’ve eaten sushi in Japan
you can’t really go back to eating it anywhere else? Well, what about when
you are in Moscow and find yourself in a restaurant full of Japanese people
eating sushi - must be a good sign, right? We freely admit that Aozora is located in a large hotel, but don’t let that put you off.The interior here is an
effective mix of gold leaf, samurais and steely grey, and the menu doesn’t
disappoint. As well as sashimi and sushi/rice boxes, there are great udon

STANISLAVSKY music THEATRE
and Khovanshchina
Dating back to 1918-1919, the
Stanislavsky and NemirovichDanchenko Moscow Music Theatre is one of the largest and most
successful theatres of Russia. The
opera and ballet performances
are well known to Moscow audiences, and attract more and more
international visitors. The theatre
takes part in many international
projects and is nominated every
year for the Golden Mask national theatre award. In 2013 the theatre was
even nominated in London for the opera Oscar: the first ever international
opera award for best opera theatre. The Stanislavsky theatre itself is beautifully decorated, with wide open spaces and a gorgeous museum showing
the history of the theatre, the costumes used in the performances staged
there, and the spectacular stage sets.
As if classical music lovers needed an extra reason to visit the world famous
Stanislavskiy Theater, on February 18, 19, 21 and 22 the repertoire will feature
the great opera masterpiece “Khovanshchina” of the celebrated Russian
composer - a national treasure, really – Modest Mussorgsky for the very time
in its history. Mussorgsky began composing this “national musical drama”,
as he often referred to it, at the relatively young age of 33 and never managed to complete it before his death, though he worked on it during 9 long
years. Emotions that are characteristic of youth remarkably intertwine with
the deep ponderation of a more wise and mature soul in “Khovanshchina”.
In a grandiose historical fresco, the composer enriches real historical events
and people with those he concocted himself. The aim is not only to rationalize but also to feel, live and emotionally undergo the epoch that saw one of
the greatest schisms in Russia’s history. Two of the most prominent masters
of Russian musical theater were in charge of the opera’s epic production:
Alexander Lazarev, an outstanding conductor, and Alexander Titel, one of
the Russian titans who specializes in directing historic operas.

NATALIA SATS children’s MUSIC
TheatrE AND Oliver twist
Once upon a time, there was little girl Natasha. Her mother was
a singer and her dad was a very
famous composer. When that little girl grew up, she set out to
present the classics in a way that
made them accessible to children.
Now, thanks to this little girl, there’s
a very special place in Moscow
for young theater lovers and that
place is The Natalia Sats Children’s
Music Theatre specializing in opera, ballet and dramatic productions for children. The world’s first professional theatre for children, it is famous worldwide as the birthplace of Sergei Prokofiev’s Peter and the Wolf.
One of the newest and most exciting additions to the repertoire is a take on
one of Charles Dickens’ most prominent works, Oliver Twist! In the musical
“The Life and Extraordinary Adventures of Oliver Twist” we will once
again meet Oliver, the charming little rascal from London and his buddies.
Beer Restaurants

For those who are not too familiar with the plot, the story follows an orphan, Oliver Twist, who endures a miserable existence in a workhouse and
then is placed with an undertaker. Not keen on being constrained, he soon
escapes and travels to London where he meets the Artful Dodger, leader
of a gang of juvenile pickpockets. That’s where naïvely unaware of their
unlawful activities, Oliver is led to the lair of their elderly criminal trainer
Fagin… His adventures will combine the best of Natalia Sats’ traditions
with modern day broadway and theatre trends. Alexander Tchaikovsky
was responsible for the music and children with serious theatrical training
act out the roles of Oliver and his little partners in crime. Kids and adults
alike would be missing out on first class entertainment if they don”t make
it to this production!
