It is the beating heart of Russian culture: St. Petersburg's Mariinsky Theatre, a bastion of arts excellence that has endured regime changes and revolutions for over two centuries. As a cultivator of innovation and talent, it is unparalleled. Balanchine studied there, as did Baryshnikov, Nijinsky, and Nureyev. Tchaikovsky and Rimsky-Korsakov premiered operas there. And Mahler, Berlioz and Rachmaninoff all conducted on its stages.
Today, under the leadership of artistic director Valery Gergiev, the Mariinsky—which comprises an orchestra, chorus, ballet and opera company—remains at the forefront of the international scene. The two-week residency includes the Mariinsky's legendary productions of Swan Lake (Jan 15, 16 & 21-23) and Cinderella (Jan 17, 18 & 20), the opera The Enchanted Wanderer (Jan 14), and Chopin: Dances For Piano (Jan 24 & 25), featuring choreography by Michel Fokine, Benjamin Millepied, and Jerome Robbins.
