🔊 Last autumn my cousin Alec invited me to the Bolshoi Theatre. I had never been to this famous opera house before and was really happy when Alec told me we were going to see "Swan Lake", a ballet to Tchaikovsky’s music.

🔊 When we arrived at the theatre, we left our coats at the cloakroom. Our seats were in the stalls, and we could see the stage very well. Alec bought me a programme and gave me his opera glasses. As we had some time before the beginning, I walked to the stage and the orchestra pit. I looked around. The hall with its wonderful curtain and its red and golden interior was fantastic, like a place in a fairy tale.

🔊 Suddenly the lights went down, the curtains opened and the dancers came onto the stage. I loved every minute of the first act: the dancing, the music and the costumes.

🔊 During the interval we walked around the foyer. I told Alec how much I liked the ballet. It was really wonderful. I said I would like to see another ballet some day. So we went to the box office and bought two tickets for "The Nutcracker". Then we had ice cream and coffee in the buffet.

🔊 When the ballet was over and the orchestra stopped playing, the audience began to applaud . I applauded loudly too: I had enjoyed myself greatly.
