It is a very elegant, nice-looking place, which was erected instead of the former Mariinsky props warehouse which burnt down once. We watched the opera 'May Night' by Rimsky-Korsakov, which is one of...

saw Sleeping Beauty here. Very traditional theatre, with very traditional presentation of the ballet, but all lovely. Lots of little girls (well behaved) in the audience, dressed up in their best, out...

Exceptional acoustics in this modern and beautiful in a very special way concert hall. But still its style has nothing to do with sofisticated St.Petersburg architecture.

Heard Yuja Wong in a marvelous performance. The theater's clean lines and modern aesthetics are beautiful and functional with great sounds. The ability to purchase online was also a plus. In terms...

This theatre is a masterpiece of architecture, the building wraps itself around you and envelopes you in it's warm embrace. The design resembling a violin in shape is a really brilliant curvy mixture...
