Dear Guests, our website has published our repertoire for March. Please, select concerts or other performances after your own hearts and come to the Primorsky Stage of the Mariinsky Theatre. We remind you that you may customize the search filters on our playbill by performance (concert) type or by site.
BALLET
In March the Primorsky Stage will present the ballets Le Corsaire, A Thousand and One Nights, The Firebird and the contemporary one-act ballet Phaedra which has recently been choreographed specially for the Primorsky Stage. The Little Humpbacked Horse is worthy of special mention as the ballet staged by Alexei Ratmansky, one of the leading domestic choreographers recognized throughout the world.
The audience is also expected to enjoy The Sleeping Beauty classically staged as a large-scale production and some one-act ballets by George Balanchine who is considered to be a "father of neoclassic dance" of the 20th century.
OPERA
Among the textbook titles of Russian operas on the March playbill there are Tchaikovsky's The Queen of Spades and Eugene Onegin, and Rimsky-Korsakov's The Tale of Tsar Saltan.
The Primorsky Stage will present Leoncavallo's Pagliacci recently staged by Marat Gatsalov, an opera stage director of great originality.
The audience will also be able to enjoy such famous foreign operas as Bizet's Carmen, Mozart's Die Zauberflöte and Verdi's Don Carlo and Macbeth. Strauss II’s Die Fledermaus, one of the best-selling operettas in the previous season, is also included in the March repertoire.
