To mark the anniversary of victory in WW II the Mariinsky Theatre website is exhibiting photographs and playbills from the Mariinsky Theatre Archive, performers’ family albums and the collection of the Central State Archive of Film and Photo Documents of St Petersburg. There are comments about these items in the form of extracts from diaries, letters and memoirs of theatre staff, reactions from contemporaries and the dry lines of certain official decrees. The chronicle is split into five sections and will be published in several stages – the final series (1945) to be published on the website on the eve of festivities taking place on 9 May.
