The theater is called "Maly" (small) only because it's across from the Bolshoi (which means "big" or "grand"), but the Maly's hall is full-sized and its performances top-quality. Most shows are in Russian, with an emphasis on classics from Chekhov, Ostrovsky, and Griboyedov, but international companies occasionally perform both Russian and foreign works in English.
