Palace Construction
In 1972, the architect Yakov Belopolsky, together with his colleagues F. M. Gazhievsky, Yuri Abramovich Dykhovich and Roman Grigorievich Kananin, submitted a draft of the Youth Palace in Moscow for the competition. However, the initial appearance of the building during the approval process was changed: instead of a triangular building crowned with a flying statue, a trapezoidal one appeared, surrounded by stairs. Construction began in 1982 under the guidance of architects Belopolsky, Belen, Posokhin and Khavin, the construction was completed in 1988 [2] [3] .

In 2014, for the premiere of “The Phantom of the Opera ”, the large hall was converted into a palace: its capacity was increased to 1800 people, its acoustics were improved, scenes were deepened, new lighting and sound equipment were installed, and the lifts were replaced. For visitors, the marble portal of the central entrance to the auditorium was reopened, which has been behind the small stage for 20 years. A central chandelier and new bar zones were installed in the lobby. The reconstruction was carried out by Stage Entertainment [5] [3] [6] [7] [8] .

Architecture and Interiors
The youth palace is made in the style of monumental modernism . The building is in the form of a trapezoid mounted on a hill and faced with white stone . As planned by the architects, the main entrance was not allocated in the building; instead, visitors are greeted by a colonnade supporting the roof. The upper part of the facade is decorated with a decorative frieze . In the northern part of the building is the entrance to the lobby of the Frunzenskaya metro station, which was built before the appearance of the palace on this site. In 1984, during the construction of MDM, one part of the lobby was built into the palace building, and the other was dismantled. The entrance to the metro was issued by a strict portico with square columns [10] [3] [2] [5] [11] .
