Mariinsky at the Double
In May the great Petersburg theatre opened a
second venue, modern but sumptuous, which

number of performances increase and so, too, does
the size of the ballet company (ex-Kirov) which will
now be serving two theatres simultaneously, as well
as touring overseas. All under the authoritative
aegis of its star-conductor, Valery Gergiev
