Heh, Knave, what's with all the trying on dresses and ballets, my good man? :wink: Disclaimer applies. nyhow, here goes:

Который час?Quote:
What time is it?
Какой час?
Сколько времени?
That is a bit of a queer way of saying it. Why not just "When"?Quote:
At what time is the ballet?
В какой час начинает баллет?
Когда начнется балет?
But if you must be exact, в который час начнется балет. But I think that sounds kind of weird. In fact, I don't think the verb is right either. I googled all over for "балет начнется" and I could only find a Kyrgyz website with ballet times, so that might not be correct.
I don't know what you were doing with all the random numbers in parantheses, but I didn't bother to translate them.Quote:

Пятнадцать минут пятого (шестого). (So you don't say "a quarter after four", but "a quarter of the fifth (hour)". Note that also in the other examples that will follow, one always looks at the coming whole hour, not the one that has passed, like one does in English, at least for the first half of the hour.)Quote:

Мне кажется, что не "нормально", а "так себе" или "неважно"...Quote:
