The Mariinsky II: a glimpse inside

Alexei Markov, Mariinsky Opera soloist:

“I congratulate all lovers of classical music and dance on this grand occasion – the opening of the Mariinsky II. This is a tremendous culturally historic event not just for St Petersburg but for the whole of Russia. For me, however, it is important that this new theatre, unparalleled in Russia, has arisen here in St Petersburg, the nation’s cultural capital.

I wish the Mariinsky Theatre many new music events, new productions and, of course, new audiences. I truly hope that the new theatre, equipped with all the latest technology, draws a new generation that has never known opera before. I believe that thanks to the Mariinsky II our auditoriums will draw young audiences who will come to love opera and in time become true fans”.
