Our Swan Lake production was attended by Mrs. Snježana Dodik, First Lady of Republika Srpska.

To mark the occasion, group photo with the performers was made on the stage after the show ended. The First Lady posed next to Alexandr Malich, Director of Alexandrinsky Theatre.

“We're Going on Tour: The Link between Culture and the Economy” was a special discussion during the Business Programme of SPIEF’25, initiated by St. Petersburg’s Committee for Culture and hosted on 20 June, 2025.

This international event, celebrating the late Ekaterina Maximova, will feature three of our ballets. This will be our first-ever tour to the largest city in the Southern Urals.
On 17 and 18 June, the public will enjoy Brilliant Divertissement, Cheeky Chastushki, and 598 Beats. The latter of these three ballets is this year’s Golden Mask Award nominee. Meanwhile, Brilliant Divertissement was personally created by our Theatre’s founder, Leonid Yacobson.

Today, we cast aside the fear of sounding too cheesy or high-strung, and sincerely confess our love for the stunning city we call our home. There is so much to adore about St. Petersburg: its austere beauty, its strong personality, and the inspiration it bestows upon its most creative residents. And it also bears remembering that St. Petersburg is the ballet capital of the world!
