Kolomna

St. Petersburg

Having been to the ballet at the Mariinsky Theatre, we also wanted to take in a concert at the incredible Mariinsky Concert Hall. It is acoustically one of the best concert venues in the world and is fairly unique in that the orchestra are surrounded on all sides by the audience. The exterior looks very uninspiring, but inside is made completely from wood. The previous concert hall was destroyed by fire in 2003 and the new interior was finished in 2007. Prices are very inexpensive by western standards.
