Bolshoi Theatre Won't Reopen Before 2011
"The reopening of Russia's famed Bolshoi Theatre has been pushed back to 2011 due to delays in a costly renovation project, a spokeswoman for Russia's culture ministry said Monday. ... Located near Red Square, the theatre closed in 2005 for a 700-million-dollar renovation project that was originally expected to be finished this year, but the end date was later pushed back to 2009."
