Which neoclassical theatre in Moscow is known for ballet and opera?

The neoclassical theatre in Moscow known for ballet and opera is the Bolshoi Theatre.

Located on Theatre Square, the Bolshoi is one of Russia’s most famous cultural institutions. Its historic main building was originally designed by architect Joseph Bové, whose neoclassical facade became a landmark of Moscow. The theatre opened in its rebuilt form on January 18, 1825, after earlier buildings on the site had been destroyed by fire.

The Bolshoi is home to two internationally renowned companies: the Bolshoi Ballet and the Bolshoi Opera. Its repertoire has included major Russian works and landmark productions, including the Moscow premiere of Tchaikovsky’s Swan Lake in 1877. The theatre has also served as an important symbol of Russian cultural prestige.

The Mariinsky Theatre is the most tempting alternative because it is also famous for ballet and opera, but it is in Saint Petersburg, not Moscow. La Scala is in Milan, while the Royal Opera House is in London. The city clue therefore makes Bolshoi the single canonical answer.
