Mariinsky Theatre
Look at the historic theatre from Theatre Square for a short introduction to the city's opera and ballet history. A performance requires a separate event plan.
The pale-green, curved facade gives the Mariinsky a distinctive presence on Theatre Square. Opened in 1860, the theatre became associated with premieres by major Russian composers and with established opera and ballet companies. Looking at the historic building connects its architecture with the city’s long tradition of staged music and dance.
