Nightlife and Entertainment
Moscow's nightlife has it all, and thankfully the days of disco dominance are gone, so there are plenty of small, intimate nightclubs and great live music of all genres. Alongside the city's restaurants and clubs, there's a rich cultural life in Moscow. Classical music, opera and ballet are strongly represented with a busy schedule of concerts and performances throughout the year, sometimes held in the city's palaces, churches or - in summer - parks and gardens. Even if you don't speak Russian, puppetry and the circus transcend language barriers, while several cinemas show films in their original language. The America Cinema ( Radisson- Slavyanskaya Hotel ; tel 095/941 87 47; Kievskaya metro), and Dome Cinema, Olimpiiskiy pr. 18/1 ( Renaissance Hotel ; Prospekt Mira metro), show films in their original languages, and there's a discount for students. The Moscow Times has OK listings in English, but if you speak a little Russian buy Afisha , the equivalent of Time Out , which covers the full range of just about everything everywhere, from gigs to contemporary art exhibitions, to poetry readings.
