With lavish sets, glorious costumes, and a company of 60, St Peterburg Ballet is not to be missed.

Show Duration: Approximately 2 hours and 40 minutes (including 2 intervals).

Frequently Asked Questions

What time do I need to arrive before a show?

We recommend that you arrive at least 15-30 minutes before the performance starts – or earlier if you would like to enjoy a drink in one of the theatre’s licensed bars.

What if I'm late and the performance has started?

Live theatre has a ‘lock-out’ policy; a period after the curtain goes up when late-comers are not permitted to enter the auditorium. Lock-out periods are set by the production and vary from show to show. Patrons arriving late will be admitted when there’s a suitable break in the performance.
