Overview

The stately Michailovskaya Building is a home to worthy renditions of classics, such as La Traviata, Prince Igor and The Barber of Seville. Though it was known by other names, theatre first stepped in way back in 1833, when French, Italian and German artistes performed regularly. Today Mussorgsky (as it is also known) is famed for drama, musicals and opera productions from around the world and noteworthy among theatre circles.
