Ballet and Opera in St. Petersburg

share
Moscow's Bolshoi theatre might be the big name in Russian ballet, but it's impossible to consider the Kirov company of the Mariinsky any less impressive. The Mikhailovsky Theatre is a not-so-distant second for grandeur and skill and for an intimate performance in the most romantic and historical of settings, the Imperial Hermitage Theatre can't be beat.
