St. Petersburg is the birthplace of Russian musical theater. Court opera and ballet performances in Peter's capital were already given in the 30s of the 18th century. The Bolshoi Theater of St. Petersburg was built in 1783, and the Mariinsky Theater in 1860 (created according to the design of the outstanding theater architect A. Kavos and named after the reigning Empress Maria Alexandrovna, wife of Alexander II). In 1935 - 1992 bore the name S.M. Kirov. The world premieres of many masterpieces of Russian opera classics took place on this stage. Among them are "Life for the Tsar" and "Ruslan and Lyudmila" by Glinka, "Boris Godunov" and "Khovanshchina" by Mussorgsky, "Prince Igor" by Borodin, "The Legend of the Invisible City of Kitezh and the Maiden Fevronia" by Rimsky-Korsakov, "The Queen of Spades" P.I. Tchaikovsky. A distinctive national vocal school has been formed at the Mariinsky Theatre. The fate of many world opera stars is inextricably linked with him. The great Fyodor Chaliapin and Ivan Ershov, Nikolai Figner, Leonid Sobinov and Feliya Litvin sang on this stage, and in subsequent years - Nikolai Pechkovsky, Sofia Preobrazhenskaya, Mark Reisen, Georgy Nelepp. The Marinsky Theater has always been characterized by reverence for classical traditions. At the same time, on its stage in the 20th century there were performances that became epoch-making, landmark for the development of a new aesthetics of the opera house. Here, Alexander Benois, Konstantin Korovin, Alexander Golovin and Valentin Serov opened up new possibilities for theatrical painting to the world. Here Vsevolod Meyerhold staged his brilliant performances, each of which became an artistic phenomenon that interests the world to this day.

The theater's repertoire includes works from the "golden fund" of opera classics. In recent years, the theater has carried out joint productions with the largest opera stages in the world: Covent Garden, Opera de Bastille, La Scala, La Fenice, Tel Aviv and San Francisco Operas.

In the most famous and rightfully best theater in St. Petersburg, ticket prices sometimes reach simply unimaginable amounts. However, here too there is an opportunity to cheat and save a lot. Not many people know that the theater has a monthly discounted subscription program that will allow theatergoers to visit the Mariinsky Theater at half the usual price. The program includes both opera and ballet performances in modern and classical performances. To purchase such a subscription, you just need to find a group on the social network and send the appropriate application. Afterwards you will be able to redeem your tickets within 48 hours, taking into account a 50% discount at the theater box office. Of course, such a program has a small disadvantage - you won’t be able to buy one ticket.

Teatralnaya Square, 1; Tel.: 326-41-52

In Mikhailovsky there is also a preferential program. This time these are not season tickets, but exclusively individual tickets, which students and pensioners can buy with a 50% discount right on the day of the performance. In order to purchase a ticket, you just need to present the appropriate identification at the ticket office: for example, a student card, pension card or ISIC card. True, there is one “but”: the discounts apply exclusively to performances included in the theater’s repertoire - unfortunately, you won’t be able to see the production of the touring troupe.

pl. Arts, 1; Tel.: 595-43-05

Of course, not the most effective option, but the cheapest: half an hour before the performance at the Liteiny Theater, students can purchase the coveted ticket for only 100 rubles. True, here’s the problem: everything depends on available seats. By the way, you can also watch an interesting production of the Na Liteiny Theater on the new chamber stage, which the theater opened literally in mid-February. Experimental productions are shown here, and tickets are half the price even without any promotions.

Liteiny pr., 51; Tel.: 273-53-35

Everything is much simpler here, and those who like to save money even have a choice: tickets with a 30% discount are sold directly at the theater box office from 11:00 to 12:00. Happy hour applies to weekday productions. However, at the same time you can purchase tickets for the weekend performance. True, the discount will be much lower - only 15%. If you think this is not enough, you can try to buy a ticket with a greater discount, but again everything will depend on available seats: an hour before the start of the performance there is a 50% discount on tickets from 300 rubles.

Vladimirsky pr., 12; Tel.: 713-21-91

There are also Happy Hours at the Alexandrinsky Theater box office. But the discount, unlike other scenes, is much lower: only 10%, although this small amount will not be superfluous. Discount tickets can be purchased any day of the week from 13:00 to 14:00.

Where would we be without Molodezhka, beloved by many St. Petersburg residents? You can also watch an interesting production quite cheaply, although compared to other theaters, the Youth Theater on Fontanka is already relatively inexpensive. An hour before the start of the performance, you can purchase an entrance ticket here that is not tied to a seat: such a ticket will cost much less than usual, but such a promotion does not apply to all performances. One of the disadvantages is that you can find out about the possibility of purchasing an entrance ticket only at the theater on the day of the performance.

emb. Fontanka River, 114; Tel.: 316-65-64

If you’ve decided to take your child to the theater and don’t want to pay a lot of money, then you’re heading straight to BTK.

To do this, you will be required to hand out questionnaires to the audience in the theater lobby half an hour before the start of the production.
