Fifteen-day repertoires of the city's major theaters
are posted in theaters and in ticket booths and can
even be purchased for a nominal price. If you want to
find out what is playing and can't figure out these
schedules, ask a hotel service bureau or concierge
desk for help.
Russians attending nicer events tend to dress up in
their evening best so wearing shorts and a thrashed t-
shirt will only attract scornful looks from the
public and harsh words from the employees. You can
get away with wearing jeans and sneakers though you
will look like a slob. You must check your coat and
larger bags at one of the cloakrooms, where you may
be offered opera glasses for a symbolic fee. Flash
photography during the show is absolutely forbidden
as well as unbelievably rude, and if you fall asleep
try not to snore too loudly as it may keep others
awake.
