Mr Kulesh had worked at the theatre since 2002. The Guardian reports that he was 37 years old.
The Bolshoi Theatre is home to the Bolshoi Ballet and the Bolshoi Opera, which are among the world's most renowned and historic ballet and opera companies.
The death of Mr Kulesh is not the first tragic incident at the institution.
In the summer of 2013, a violinist passed away after falling into the orchestra pit.
Prior to that, in 2011, one of the company's ballet soloists, Pavel Dmitrichenko, received a six-year jail sentence for organising an acid attack on the company's artistic director Sergei Filin.Explore more on these topics:
