Abstract: The Hamiltonian formalism of bigravity and massive gravity is studied here for the general form of the interaction potential of two metrics. In the theories equipped with two spacetime metrics it is natural to use the Kuchar approach, because then the role played by the lapse and shift variables becomes more transparent. We find conditions on the potential which are necessary and sufficient for the existence of four first class constraints. The algebra of constraints is calculated in Dirac brackets formed on the base of all the second class constraints. It is the celebrated algebra of hypersurface deformations. By fixing one metric we obtain a massive gravity theory free of first class constraints. Then we can use symmetries of the background metric to derive conserved quantities. These are ultralocal, if expressed in terms of the metric interaction potential. The special case of potential providing less number of degrees of freedom is treated in the companion paper.
