Worth watching any one show. I watched the ballet "sleeping beauty". You can buy tickets online with seat selection even from your own country before arriving in Russia. I did and I didn't have to stand in queue at the ticket counter. Plus, with advanced booking, I was able to select a decent seat near to the stage (if you buy late, only distant seats or costliest seats may remain for sale - Ballet is all about visuals and seat selection is most important.) The opera hall is gorgeous, though not allowed to take photos. Do wear your best dress underneath your warm clothing (if visiting in winter). Nice arrangements for security and cloak room.
