Mariinsky Theatre

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

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.

Production and live orchestra was amazing! Spartak and Swan Lake are my favorite. Giselle was just ok. Wanted to feed the Prima ballerina and put her partner on a diet. Stay away from top balcony seats and the floor unless you in front row. Too many blind spots!

The Mariinsky Theatre is an iconic venue with a beautiful Nutcracker performance. However, there are areas for improvement: the seats are quite uncomfortable regardless of your location, the intermission is overcrowded, making it difficult to enjoy refreshments, and the provided opera glasses are of poor quality. Despite these drawbacks, the experience is still memorable

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!

I had the pleasure of watching my first Ballet, Swan Lake here and it was absolutely Amazing! The Ballerinas and Danseurs were incredibly talented and The architecture was something to behold. I was truly blown away! Magical night at the Ballet Festival n Marinsky Theatre!

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.

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.
