If You Are In Saint Petersburg, You Should Not Miss The Opportunity To See One Of The Best Classical Ballets In The World!

Russian ballet is first of all classical ballet, which keeps the traditions of the 19th century. It is really unique, because nowhere else in the world it is raised to such a high level. We have quite a number of theatres where you can see ballet but the most famous of them is of course the Mariinsky theatre (also known by its former name - the Kirov theatre) - our leading Opera and Ballet House.

Ballet as such appears in Russia in St. Petersburg, here it primarily develops, bringing to our city the glory of the ballet capital of Russia. Saint Petersburg ballet is associated with such outstanding actors as Agrippina Vaganova, Anna Pavlova, Vatslav Nizhinsky, George Balanchin, Tamara Karsavina, Matilda Kshessinskaya, Rudolf Nureev, Michael Baryshnikov, Natalia Makarova, Galina Ulanova, Konstantin Sergeev and others.

I recommend that you include a ballet performance in your shore excursion in St. Petersburg Russia!
