Marinsky

We went to see the Marriage of Figaro at The Marinsky Theatre on Friday night. An opulent setting which is completely in keeping with the city as a whole. The opera itself was in Italian with Russian surtitles - not that I think that made much difference. In my experience, you need the synopsis to hand to follow the story whatever language it is presented in. The unexpected thing was that the seats were all individual chairs - not rows of cinema-like seats - makes getting up and down the rows a bit of a challenge.

All good fun and we made it to a roof top restaurant for a midnight meal as our time in St Petersburg drew to an end.
