Mikhaylovsky Theatre, Opera house in Arts Square, Saint Petersburg, Russia
The Mikhaylovsky Theatre features a white and gold interior, multiple tiers of seating, and a central chandelier illuminating the performance space.
Founded in 1833 by order of Tsar Nicholas I, the theatre initially served as a venue for French theatrical performances over eight decades.
The theatre presents both classical and modern ballet productions, with performances of Swan Lake and Notre-Dame de Paris in its regular program.
The theatre box office operates daily from 10:00 AM to 9:00 PM, offering tickets for opera and ballet performances throughout the year.
In 2012, principal dancer Natalia Osipova selected the Mikhaylovsky Theatre over the Bolshoi Theatre, marking a shift in Russian ballet dynamics.
