The State Academic Bolshoi Theatre was founded in 1776. The company acquired the Petrovka Theatre in 1780, which was destroyed by fire in 1805 . A new building was projected by Andrej Mihajlov and Osip Bove, and completed in 1825. It was a monumental complex with a strong eight-column portico, and a copper Apollo statue above the front. Fired again in 1853, it was rebuilt by Alberto Cavos in 1856.
