THÉÂTRE MIKHAÏLOVSKY

It replaces the former Mikhailovsky Theatre, which mainly hosted foreign companies. Today, this theatre of scenic and choreographic research has gained international renown. His productions of Boris Godounov, Prince Igor, the Lady of Spades and Eugene Onegin have enchanted the well-informed spectators that are the people of St. Petersburg. It is also more central than the Mariinsky and tickets are cheaper. So you have to look at the programming, and if a Russian opera comes up, don't hesitate.
