Moscow Conservatory

The Moscow Conservatory (Московская Государственная Консерватория им. П.И.Чайковского) is a prominent music school in Russia.

It was co-founded in 1866 by Nikolai Rubinstein (brother of the famous Russian pianist and composer Anton Rubinstein, who founded the St. Petersburg Conservatory in 1862) and Prince Nikolai Petrovitch Troubetzkoy.

At its opening, Tchaikovsky was appointed professor of theory and harmony, a post he held until approximately 1878. Since 1940, the conservatory has borne Tchaikovsky's name.

The Moscow Tchaikovsky Conservatory was founded in 1866 by Nikolay Rubinstein, a brilliant pianist and conductor. The Great Hall today is one of the famous concert venues in the world.

Большой зал, один из самых удобных театральных залов в Москве. Акустика отличная. Публика конечно возрастная. Цена билетов умеренная, от 300 р.

Консерватория в Москве была основана в 1866 г. на базе организованных Н. Г. Рубинштейном музыкальных классов. Первоначально занятия музыкальных классов проходили на квартире Н. Г. Рубинштейна.

Прекрасная акустика и очень хорошая обстановка. Торжественно зал для неповторимого восприятия музыки.

Зал легендарный, акустика великолепная! Но что касается "подходов" - полное несоответствие современным стандартам. Постоянная очередь в женский туалет через все фойе. Вокзальный буфет, нет лифта. ((
Ксения Некрасова
Очень уютный и красивый Большой зал и удобные кресла. Звук отличный, сидели на задних рядах партера, но слышно было прекрасно. Культурненько!
