Mariinsky Theatre Reviews

Affordable price to see the lake of the swans ....... my wife is the happiest.

Opera and Ballet Theater, possibly with the richest repertoire in the world. Here you can see the complete tetralogy of the Nibelungen Ring, for example

We watched Don Quixote and the performance was good, but the old chairs are too uncomfortable and the seating interval is very narrow. The middle of the 2nd and 3rd floors are located in the middle of the balcony. I read that there was no step on the first floor, so I booked upstairs and the side looked much better.

Wonderful theater with a amazing actors and decorations.

World class theatre and dance facility... Must visit and book online for variety of different shows available. Has two structures in St Petersburg, old and original with typical classical design and new theatre which is a modern marvel...
Must visit with family and friends to enjoy Russian arts and culture

Historical theater, with a large program of shows. Unfortunately it is not really easy to find tickets, and those that can be purchased are quite expensive. At the moment around the theater everything is a construction site, so the "outline" is not exactly the best of elegance.

It was too cold inside. You have to take that into account!

We watched "Shurale". A delightful production! Have repulsed all palms! If you had money, you would go to the Mariinsky every evening.

It's a stunning classical opera house. Required to visit all guests of our city. I always get great pleasure when I manage to get here.
Get here by public transport or taxi. Around the trouble with parking. Or look for a place in a 10-minute walk around the theater.

I m absolutely not a fan of the opera, but the atmosphere of the theater, incredible scenery, costumes, orchestra playing actors ... The unity of music, voices, such strings familiar from childhood ... "I write to you ..." This there were 4 hours of fairy tales ... Understanding that this is a huge work, invisible to the viewer, you realize the global nature of the plan and work ... An emotional person, I burst into tears of happiness and gratitude at the end of the seventh picture The ball s scene, in honor of Tatyana s name day , and in the sixth picture were simply fantastic! Anyone who loves classics, Pushkin, St. Petersburg, the atmosphere of the XIX century - definitely, I advise!

Today we watched the Chinese musical performance of CONFUCIUS. There are no words! Everything is so beautiful and costumes, and scenery, and design, and the orchestra, and singing, and music! We really enjoyed it, thanks to the theater staff, too. K. Today the premiere was a lot of people, but everyone is working in an organized manner and security, and the wardrobe, thanks again to the guests and owners of the theater!

A lovely theatre, but a terrible ballet. The junior dancers were okay and the orchestra were excellent, but the overall composition was let down by the direction and poor timing of the leads.

It is one of the oldest in all of Russia. Its rich history is linked to the names of eminent men of Russian culture and art. Built by Cavos in 1859 it is the greatest theater in the city for opera and dance.
He baptized the masterpieces of all the great Russian composers of the nineteenth century, saw the world's most famous wands pass on the podium and the most famous dancers danced. At the time of its construction the theater was called Bolshoj (Big) or Kamenny (of Stone); in Soviet times it was known all over the world under the name of Kirov.

DELIGHT! Ballet "Corsair" is the best with a young composition! BRAVO! Brilliantly!

Lovely old scene. Walk !!! Instead of a thousand words.

The disgusting ballet "Yaroslavna". 30 years ago in Malegota was magnificent. And here ..... Old Russian warriors in the style of Star Wars - how do you?

Amazing pieces. Beautiful building. We felt enchanted!
