Itinerary
On the day of the ballet performance at Mariinsky Theatre walk to one of the best Russian Restaurants in St. Petersburg. It's located just in 160 feet (50 meters) from the Mariinsky. Savor a traditional Russian 3-course dinner that includes Red Caviar (salmon roe) with Blini (Russian thin pancakes) with the glass of a good wine.
During this dinner, meet and enjoy a talk with Mariinsky (Kirov) Ballet dancer who just danced during the performance you saw this evening.
The ballet dancer will come to the restaurant 30-60 minutes after show. During your 40-45 minutes meeting she or he will tell you about experience of working in one of the world's best ballet companies and answer your questions. Don't forget to take a couple of selfies and have an autograph, as this young and promising dancer may become one of the world's ballet stars.
Please keep in mind that ballet dancers keep to a special diet. She/he will eat dietary meals during dinner. Some dancers drink wine, some do not drink alcohol. You may offer a wine to a dancer, but please do not insist.
After your meeting is over, continue to enjoy your dinner. If you need to take a taxi, the restaurant people will help you find one.
