Your hotel should be able to help you with both.

1. Unless, like nytraveler, you prefer to overpay for services, do not ask your hotel to help you with a taxi.
2. A taxi is not necessary to get you to the airport, as the previous poster mentioned, there is a perfectly good rail service from Belorusskaya, which is not far from the city centre. You can take the metro to get there from Red Square.
3. The traffic can be horrific, so if you really do want to go by taxi, allow plenty of time.
4. Here is a link to the official taxi operators that serve Sheremetyevo with email addresses and rates.

5. For ballet, try the Russian National Ballet Theatre as they might have a summer schedule.
