Mariinsky Theatre

It was an amazing experience and best ballet i have ever been to . Russia didn't disappoint me at all. Thanks for being so welcoming to me I came all the way from Texas

Watched the nutcracker in summer. One of the sole theaters to have summer presentations. It is, as expected, spectacular.

This theater is absolutely beautiful !! a real work of art in design with a great atmosphere and amazing staff who truly care about the visitors ,, I watched a ballet performance and it was one of the best shows I’ve seen definitely not to be missed It lasted two hours and I really enjoyed every moment of it

We asked for front row seats and they gave us back row seats. Half of my view was literally blocked by the head of the person sitting in front of me! What an awful seats design. Needless to say we left in the middle of the show. Such a disappointing experience!

Absolutely amazing experience! The performance was professional and touching! The theater is historical and beautiful, it felt like I was living in a 20 century and everyone was beautiful and elegant!

Ballet Bliss in St. Petersburg The Mariinsky Theatre in St. Petersburg is a treasure trove of artistic brilliance, and witnessing the Russian ballet here was an unforgettable experience. The performance of "Le Corsaire" by Adolphe Adam was a masterpiece, a seamless fusion of skill, grace, and storytelling. The Mariinsky's regal ambiance and timeless architecture create an atmosphere of grandeur that befits the caliber of the performances it hosts. The attention to detail in every aspect of the production, from costumes to choreography, is a testament to the Mariinsky's dedication to the art form. The dancers, true masters of their craft, brought Adolphe Adam's vision to life with impeccable precision and emotion. Every movement seemed to tell a story, leaving the audience utterly captivated. Attending a ballet at the Mariinsky Theatre is a transcendent experience that lingers in the memory long after the final bow. It's a testament to the enduring power of art to transport and inspire, and a must for anyone seeking to be swept away by the magic of the stage.

I always thought I hated ballet, but after being here I realized I had only seen bad ballet. The performance was exceptional (the show was Spartacus) and the staff was friendly - we even got to chat with some of the ballerinas. This all for a reasonable price too, would highly recommend.

Amazing theatre where you can enjoy one of the world's best orchestras and watch the most talented ballets. We've seen Shurale, the famous Tatar ballet, which we very much appreciated. The historic building itself is also brilliant and definitely worth to visit if you are in St. Petersburg.
