There are not many theatres in my town but they are all very popular with the public. I am a theatre lover. As for me, I prefer drama to all other theatres, but I like opera and musical comedy, too.

I’ll never forget my first visit to the Opera and Ballet Theatre. My friend and I wanted to see the famous ballet Swan Lake by Tchaikovsky. We bought the tickets in advance and came to the theatre half an hour before the show. At 7 sharp the performance began. From the very first minute I was deeply impressed by everything I saw on the stage. The costumes were fine. The dancing and music was thrilling. The ballet seemed to me a fairly- tale. I had never seen anything more wonderful. My friend also enjoyed every minute of it.

When the curtains fell at the end of the performance there a storm of applause was coming. It seemed that it would never end. The dancers were presented with large bouquets of flowers. We also applauded enthusiastically. The performance was a great success.

7. Read and translate the text:

A theatre is a building where plays, operas or ballets are performed. It has a stage for the actors and an auditorium for the audience. Thus the auditorium is the part of a theatre where the audience sits.

The stage is raised several feet above the floor of the auditorium. At the sides of the stage are wings. The curtain separates the stage from the auditorium. The curtain is dropped or lowered between the scenes or acts of a play (an opera). While the curtain is down, the workers on the stage (called “stage hands”) can change the scenery and prepare the stage for the next part of the performance. Several doors separate the foyer from the seating area.

Each person in a large audience can see the actors on the stage without discomfort as the back part of the auditorium is several feet higher than the front part, so that the seats are on a slope.

Above the ground floor there are generally several curved balconies with even steeper slopes of seats. Seats in the stalls are those near the stage on the ground floor. Seats in the first rows of the stalls are called orchestra stalls. Seats behind the stalls are known as the pit. This is the worst part of the English theatre. Next comes the dress circle, i.e. rows of seats higher up above the stalls and further back in the theatre.

Above the dress circle, a little higher up, there is the balcony or upper circle, as it is often called. Highest of all is the gallery. Then there are also boxes in each tier of the theatre. It takes quite a number of people to put on a play. The treatment of a play, the style of the production, the training of the performers depends on the director (who is also called by some people “producer” in G.B.). The stage manager is the person in charge of the technical part of the production of a play. There are also make-up artists, people who make the costumes, those who design the props and scenery, and, finally, stage hands.

The actors taking part in the play, are called the cast
