Last week, we launched a new season of ballets,
operas and concerts in St Petersburg. As always, our theater offers lots of different kinds
of events — to satisfy every taste and demand.
The Mariinsky Concert Hall season began with three performances
of Giuseppe Verdi’s opera Aida directed by Daniele Finzi Pasca —
one of the most brilliant, very well received premieres of the last season. Next time, this production will be presented
on November 15th, 17th and 19th. Tickets are on sale on our web-site: from 400 to 1200 rub.
The first in the new season Verdi’s opera at the Mariinsky Theatre
is Macbeth, one of three Shakespearean operas written by the composer. This Autumn at the Mariinsky Theatre, we once
again present a series of Verdi’s most popular masterpieces staged in a traditional way: Rigoletto on October 15th,
Aida on October 16th and November 1st,
La Traviata on November 5th and Attila on November 8th.
You can further explore works by Verdi in a pair of gala-concerts: on October 21st,
at the Mariinsky Theatre — selected works for chorus and orchestra performed by the Teatro di San Carlo (Naples)
and on October 29th, at the Mariinsky Concert Hall — famous
choirs and scenes from Verdi’s operas performed by the Mariinsky Chorus and Orchestra.
One of the greatest Verdi’s works,
Requiem, will be performed on November 6th, at the Mariinsky Concert
Hall by the Mariinsky Orchestra, Chorus and leading soloists: Olga Borodina,
Viktoria Yastrebova, Ildar Abdrazakov
and Sergei Semishkur, under the baton of Valery Gergiev.
We wish you a pleasant visit!
