Mariinsky Theatre: A Cultural Landmark

The Mariinsky Theatre, founded in 1859 by Italian architect Giovanni Batista Violliet, stands as a foundational pillar of Russian performing arts. Known for its splendid architecture, it houses both classic and contemporary ballet and opera.

With a history intertwined with ballet legends like Nijinsky and Nureyev, the theatre evolved from its original name, the Imperial Mariinsky Theatre, to being associated with the Soviet Kirov Ballet. The main building, characterized by its green-and-white facade, is matched by its modern counterpart, Mariinsky II, which enhances its cultural offerings.
