    On October 6, 2006 I saw Lucia Di Lammermoor opera by Donizetti. The story is sad and in my opinion is a mix of Hamlet and Romeo and Julietta. The singers were great and music and the performance truck me very much. So, and the financial side of it is RUR 400 for the place in the stalls (although it is much more expensive for the foreign citizens). The second visit was in December 17, 2006 for Aida by Verdi.

    The Mariinsky Theatre is home to the world famous Kirov Ballet company, and I found it to live up to its reputation as the best theatre in St. Petersburg. I saw three operas and one ballet at this theatre. Swan Lake at the Mariinsky was about as good as it gets when it comes to ballet. The costumes and scenery are always top-notch. The Russian operas have English subtitles, while non-Russian operas such as La Boheme have Russian subtitles.

    Soft sofa seats and food for
    movies
    by sennaya

    There are two Jam Hall movie theaters in St. Petersburg. They serve food and beverages while you watch a movie.

    They have sofas for seating 2 or 3 people and serve pizza and cocktails while you enjoy the show. You turn on a little red light on the small table in front of your sofa for service.
    The service is slow.
    For the midnight shows there is no food service and the waitresses leave in 15 minutes. Things from the bar are generally good and pizza is not bad. Ice cream may taste old and soda may be served warm. But if the movie is good and the company good, it is a nice place.

    There is usually an art exhibit in the lobby and bar for coffee or other treats while you wait.
    Like most theaters in Russia, you reserve the seat when you buy the ticket. For a new release you can buy the ticket the day before and make sure you get in.

  • Address: Petrogradskaya Metro or Ëåíèíñêèé ïð. 160
  • Directions: By Petrogradskaya Metro and turn right, 2 min and you are there

    Prior to seeing Tchaikovsky's "Swan Lake" here at the St Petersburg State Academy Ballet, I told people that although I appreciate opera and symphony, I could not stand ballets and found them cures for insomnia.

    After seeing a performance of Swan Lake here on September 16, 2004, I must admit that I was wrong. Ballet, when performed by the best in the world is captivating, intense, and extremely exciting. The dancers were perfect in their grace, beauty, and ballet technique. It was one of my top 5 highlights and number highlight of my nights in St. Petersburg.

    Another place I try not to miss when I am in Peter. The ballet here is absolutly fantastic, but what I love even more are the sets. Teh Nutcracker was absolutly awesome. You don't need to worry to much about dressing up. People come in all styles of dress from Jeans to suits and ties. The picture here is of the Tzars box, unfortunatly I didn't get to sit here :(

    The church (sobor) was built by Italian architect Rastrelli in the 18th century. He did not finish it and later, it was used as a school. Now it`s a concert hall famous for its perfect acoustics.
    Alas, I did not attend a concert but was told by our guide that the sound is great. I`ll make sure to go there next time I`m in StP.

    The Mariinsky theatre is the home of the Kirov Ballet and the Kirov Opera.

    Both these companies are world class both in performance and training.

    There is a lot of rivalry between the Mariinsky Theatre and The Bolshoi Theatre in Moscow as to who is the best. Personally I would not like to judge - both are fantastic.

    The theatre here is painted in the traditional St Petersburg pastel colours. This time its Green and White.

    Sadly I did not get to go to a performance due to my *** knee (as at night I was resting it so as to survive the next day), but I dream of next time :)

    For anyone who wants to know the repetoir for whatever time frome go to their website, you can also book online there

    Old theater located on the Neva River Eat of the main Hermitage museum.
    Many special concerts and events are held here.

    Ekaterina II the Great held ballets and theater performances here. You can see a re-enactment in the art film "Russian Ark."

    SOMETIMES, a patron of classical music can walk directly from the theater to the museum without a separate ticket. It is one of those don't ask, don't tell situations :)

  • Address: Neva River east of the Hermitage
  • Directions: From Palace Square it is to the right of the Hermitage, but the usual entrance is from street on the Neva River side. There is a door on the 2nd floor fromteh theater to the Hermitage museum, but it is often closed for entrance.
