This project explores the rich history, architectural uniqueness, and musical heritage of the Bolshoi Theatre in Moscow. It highlights the distinctive belfry created in the 1920s, housing thirty-five preserved bells from Moscow churches, integral to Russian opera performances. The project also details the installation of the theatre's first organ, crafted in Belgium to complement its acoustics and architecture, featuring over 1,800 metal pipes and exceptional sound quality. Through this study, the project emphasizes the Bolshoi's role in preserving traditional music while adopting modern innovations.
