Some of the best dancers in the world have come from the Mariinskiy Theatre and they perform at this theatre. For much of the year the dancers are on tour, but give performances in St. Petersburg during the winter months. A highlight of the year is the Christmas performances of The Nutcracker, danced mainly by children from the Vaganova Ballet School.

Hermitage Theatre

The Hermitage Theatre is the oldest building in a complex of the Winter Palace. The decoration of the theatre and its halls is unique and represents a classical masterpiece of palace architecture of the 18th century. The small court theatre (only 250 seats) was initially intended for the imperial family and selected court noblesse.

The Theatre is presently used as the lecture hall for the State Hermitage Museum and as the stage for the ballet performances, chamber music recitals, and opera performances.
