The successfully begun pedagogical career (it taught up to 1923) did not prevent enthusiasm decorative by skill, and in 1907 Fedorov arrived into the Bolshoi theater. In the same year the artist won the competition of the sketches of decorations and suits to "Carmen" Of zh. Bizet for the particular opera Of s. Zimin, for which it was rewarded with reward into four hundred rubles, trip for two months to Spain and with debut in the famous Moscow theater, where later it designed more than ten plays, including of the "demon" Of a.

He was active participant and organizer of artistic section in the artistic- enlightenment division of Moscow council. To the celebration on 1 May 1918- GO for the first time they decoratively designed Red Square.
In 1921 engaged itself the post of the manager by the theatrical part of the Bolshoi theater and at the same time as artist-director bol‘shy it for the first time designed ballet scenes the "dance of Salomes" (to the music from the opera "Salome" Of r. Strauss) and "martial dance" (to the music from the ballet "Daphnis and Khloya" Of m. ravelya).
In the Bolshoi theater in 1921-23 yr. Fedorov designed eight ballets, six of which were set by Aleksandr gorskiy: the "dance of Salomes" to the music Of r.Shtrausa, "zhizel‘" Of a.

In its first works it already appeared itself as talented colorist, who originally connected Constantine Korovin‘s precepts, the principles of decorative miriskusnichestva and the tradition of the painting of itinerant artists. In the Bolshoi theater, developing the plastic of stage plane-table, it began to assert the picturesque- volumetric method, with the aid of the painting which allowed the "complex architectural volumes, built into several plans and those rhythmical connected with each other, to report to the spectator as single whole, creating naturalistic illusion".
It attempted to create bright, monumental theatrical spectacles, which in many respects was determined by its thrust to the Russian history and desire to place the operas of the composers of "powerful heap". Three times it was turned k "Boris Godunov" Of m. musorgskogo (1927, 1946, 1948), the "mermaid" Of a. dargomyzhskiy (1931, 1937, 1944), to "prince Igor" A.

From the middle the 30‘s Fedor fedorovskiy and worked with it directors Vladimir losskiy and Leonid baratov assert on the scene of large theatrical style "the theater- giant, which is necessary for the country of giants and must in everything correspond to the grandeur of the scales of the spread of socialist building". the Heroics- monumental work of artist satisfied the requirements of "new epoch" and found response in "new spectator". In this case Fedorov was always guided by the desire to make a musical theater by emotional- that saturated - immense beauty of such legendary plays, as "Boris Godunov" and "tsarist bride" disturbs spectators and today.
