Theatre
I am a theatre lover. As for me, I prefer drama to all other theatres, but I like opera and musical comedy, too. I don’t go to the theatres very often. When I decide to visit a theatre I usually book tickets beforehand. The best seats in the theatre are in the stalls, in the dress circle, and the upper circle. Boxes, of course, are the most expensive. I like to sit in the dress circle, because we can see the stage very well from there, besides, the tickets are not very expensive. I like to see both classic and modern plays by Russian and foreign playwrights. I saw, for example, “The Cherry Orchard”, “The Three Sisters” by Chekhov, and several dramas by Ostrovsky. Several years ago I saw “Othello” and “Hamlet” by Shakespeare. I liked the plays very much. I remember when we came to the theatre to see “Hamlet” we saw a sign at the entrance saying “House Full”. Many people were standing at the theatre asking for an extra ticket. We left our coats in the cloak-room and bought a program from the usher. We wanted to know what the cast was. In the hall boxes, dress circles and balconies were overcrowded. The actors played very well. We liked the performance; it was a great success with the public.
