A date at the Marrinsky is the epitome of class and style. Sip a glass if sovietskoe champagne at intermission to fit in with the locals!
Description:
- Sometimes known outside Russia as the Kirov, this is the city's premier cultural venue. Named after Maria Alexandrovna, the wife of Alexander II, the building dates from 1860; but it stands on the same site as a wooden theatre erected in 1765. The hulking exterior is hardly inspiring, but the glittering multi-tiered interior is a jewel among St Petersburg's aging auditoriums. The theatre is famous for the Kirov Ballet Company, but it is best known for opera. Consult the website for upcoming events and ticket price. Show times vary, consult the website or call for details.
