Welcome to the cultural capital of Russia! After spending a day hoofing it through the finest museums and historical locations, you can watch a play, ballet, opera or circus performance any and every night you choose. Ranging from tiny clubs and massive stadiums, to imperial concert halls and historical circuses, not a single taste from young and old is uncatered for in a city that loves a good show.
Classical music and opera is cherished in Russia, and it is a great way to take time out of a busy schedule and relax while enjoying this city. Many opera and classical music companies perform during the year, often sharing the calendar with the ballet companies. The Mariinsky Theatre, although renowned for its world famous ballet, also shows opera and classical music throughout the year. Other venues include the Mikhailovsky Theatre, the St. Petersburg State Conservatory, and The Hermitage Theatre, and you can listen to the St. Petersburg Philharmonic Orchestra, which was the first one in Europe, in the famous St. Petersburg Philharmonia.
Whatever your music preferences are and whatever day of the week it happens to be, there will be music playing somewhere in St. Petersburg. The listings below are just a handful of what's on offer ahead, so if you're looking for underground rock, a low-key jazz room, places to hear top DJs or a classical performance in one of the palatial halls around town, be sure check out the individual venues' listings and websites.
