About this activity

Visit: ULKOtours, St. Petersburg Russia

We welcome you to spend an unforgettable evening at one of the most beautiful theaters of Saint Petersburg - The Hermitage Theater.

Built by order of Catherine the Great, this theater has been used by the Imperial family for their private performances. Small intimate hall, royal interiors and the best dancers in the town create the atmosphere of romance. Of course your visit to St Petersburg would not be complete without seeing classic Russian ballet performance.

Swan Lake Ballet is one of the world famous fantasy ballets by Pyotr Tchaikovsky (three acts and four scenes) played by the St. Petersburg State Governor's Symphony orchestra.

Choreography by Marius Petipa and Lev Ivanov (1895) will certainly impress even the most discerning clients and a chance to see the dancers so close up is truly a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

We saw a full performance of Swan Lake in a very small theater that held maybe 150 people, the stage and orchestra were so close you could see the dancer's facial expressions! No reserved seats so get there plenty early, the seats on the sides definitely not as good. The performance was magical and being in the Hermitage Theater was beautiful A busload of tourists arrived after us and they were behaving very badly, including recording the whole performance on their phone.
