Review of Mariinsky Theatre

For all lovers of classical music, ballet or opera...

For all lovers of classical music, ballet or opera, undoubtedly the place to be when you visit Saint Petersburg. Almost all the great people of the earth have performed here. The Mariinsky has not lost any of that glory of yore. I went there for both a ballet and an opera performance, both were goosebumps moments. During the breaks you can enjoy a glass of Russian champagne in the bar. Take cash with you, because credit cards are not accepted. Tickets for a performance can easily be purchased online long before your trip. A heavenly experience!
