It got the limelight when great choreographer Alaxender Gorsky and legendary singers as Fyodor Chaliapin, Leonid Sobinov and Antonina Nezhdanova arrived here and boosted the fortune of Bolshoi.  After the World War II Bolshoi became a dominant place in Ballet in not just Russia but entire world. It kept throwing star after star and Bolshoi became super famous. However after the collapse of Soviet Union, Bolshoi faced troubles again. Funding got slashed and die- hard fans lost interest. Starts of the theater had to look for job in the west. This led to fall in popularity of Bolshoi. But things have improved with arrival of new great artists which got Bolshoi praise for from all round the world its great production . It may take some time for Bolshoi to gain the highest glory in the world again but it is on its path none the less.
