As promised we went to the Ballet in St. Petersburg this evening and had a wonderful time!
The shuttle buses picked us all up on time (7.pm) and off we went in all our finery!
The Bolshoi Theatre in St. Petersburg is quite beautiful; painted pale green on the outside and with fine carvings it is as lovely inside. It is about late 19th Centuary with a 'Victorian' feel inside - carved balconies etc. and a wonderful painted domed ceiling.
The cast were quite young and they were pretty and inventive and gave a good performance all round.
More of this later this month on the main website.
We took lots of photos of the Ballet Theatre for you to see in due course.
It is past midnight here in St. Petersburg (but not dark!) as we are 3 hours ahead of UK time.
We stay over night and all day tomorrow in port and then sail for Tallin in Estonia at teatime
more soon from this Blog ....
