- Вы когда-нибудь были в Большом театре?

There are four theatres in London of notable beauty: the Theatre, the Curtain Theatre, the Rose Theatre and the Swan Theatre. In each of them a different play is daily performed to the audience.
Of all the theatres the largest and the most magnificent is the Swan Theatre: for it accommodates three thousand people. It is built of a mass of flint stones, and is supported by wooden columns painted in such an excellent imitation of marble that it is able to deceive even the most cunning people. The actual date of the building and opening of the Swan Theatre is uncertain, but it was probably about 1596.
