An academic and artistic theater in Moscow, the prestigious mkhat, specialized in the repertoire of Tchekhov, was the laboratory of Russian drama under the leadership of the great masters of the Russian and universal theater Constantin Stanislavski and Nemirovitch-Dantchenko, who founded it in 1898. Set in the graceful building rebuilt by Chekhtel in 1902, at the corner of Tverskaya Street, the theater occupies a special place in the history of the Russian drama that it has revolutionized and remains avant-garde, even if it is called old mkhat. Indeed, the mkhat, which was named Gorki under Stalin, split into two troops in 1987, the avant-garde, formerly led by Oleg Efremov, founder of the Sovremennik theater remaining in the former premises. The others, less critical of the system, moved to another place to which they retained the name of mkhat Gorky. The old Mkhat, however, is not spared a crisis between the director and the troupe, some of whom go to other places or choose the cinema. But the tradition of the festival dedicated to Chekhov in October is not affected.

The Moscow Conservatory has a solid international reputation and its entrance exam is extremely difficult. It was founded in 1866 and Tchaikovsky taught there for 12 years.

In fine, it is a place not to be missed by classical music lovers visiting the Russian capital.

In a small cobbled courtyard, the Rythm & Blues spreads on its facade a multicolored fresco featuring the masters of rock and jazz.

The food is good, with a mix of European and Georgian influences. It is better to reserve in advance.

Large shows of great success, Molière or Babel, accessible even if you don't understand a Russian word. This theatre became the second largest house of the remarkable Piotr Mamonov, both singer and actor. His performances are usually shown over a very long period of time. Try by curiosity.

When one knows the role that Russia has played in the very particular art of puppet shows and which brings it closer to its oriental influences (just think of Japanese puppet theatre) it would be a pity not to attend a show. If the programming is concentrated on a children's audience (from 3 to 12 years old), some shows are aimed at an adult audience. No need to understand Russian to enjoy the performance.

This 200-person hall directed by David Goloshokin offers old-fashioned jazz concerts and shows. Bar-restaurant on site.

In fact, since 1997, the only museum of jazz history in St. Petersburg and northwestern Russia has been located here, with its old posters, photos and documents. However, the translation of the explanatory notes is missing.

Much less popular with tourists than the Mariinsky, the St. Petersburg Philharmonic is nevertheless of a very high musical standard.

Mainly Russian public, but often excellent programming, available on the website. For music lovers and others, enough to spend a very good evening.

The Eifman Theatre is a real laboratory for research into new scenic and choreographic expressions.

This mythical underground concert hall of the 1990s, which is located at Pushkinskaya 10 (Artistic Centre/Museum of Non-Conformist Art) still welcomes the supporters of the alternative rock scene, but also all the young people who follow their example. The evenings without concerts are less fun but we always come across local regulars or artists and musicians who still live in the squat of Pushkinskaya 10. On concert evenings, don't hesitate to arrive an hour early.

This immense Soviet achievement from the time of Nikita Khrushchev had created a scandal when the project was revealed. The construction nevertheless took place and the State Palace (Государственный Кремлёвский дворец) in the heart of the Kremlin, still unofficially called the Congress Palace, has since then hosted all the major events of the Soviet state. Its excellent acoustics made it an early Bolshoi concert hall and it is now a concert hall. It is also the venue for the state-organized Christmas party.
