Pyotr Tchaikovsky’s Swan Lake tells a story of love, trust and enchantment through ballet. Prince Siegfried meets Odette, but his promise to free her encounters Rothbart’s deception. Even a familiar story takes on a new dimension in a live performance.
Why choose this evening?
Ballet lets you follow the story through movement and music, the characters’ relationships and the changing atmosphere on stage. It is an accessible starting point for a first theatre visit in Saint Petersburg; ballet enthusiasts can see a production on the Mariinsky Theatre’s historic stage.
The cast depends on the performance you choose. Check the theatre’s current listing if you are travelling to see a particular artist.
Dates and stage
The November playbill lists 2, 5 and 6 November 2026 at 19:00. The venue is the historic Mariinsky Theatre, 1 Teatralnaya Square, rather than Mariinsky II.
To plan a journey from your hotel, write to Hola Taxi, providing the performance date and departure address. For the return after the ballet, check the theatre’s current duration and finishing information. Arrival transport from Pulkovo is planned separately.
