St Petersburg, Russia — Events
Stars of the White Nights Festival
This festival of performing arts is the essence of the Mariinsky theater’s artistic achievements, home of the celebrated Kirov Opera and Ballet, and is a must for ballet, opera and classical music lovers. The annual White Nights Festival derives its name from the short summer season when the sun never sets, and the beauty of these white nights contributes to the festival’s special atmosphere and its world-class program of concerts, as audiences exit the historic theater at midnight into daylight to stroll home through the theatrical setting of St Petersburg.
