Mariinsky Ballet – An Enchanting October Season
✨ An Enchanting October at the Mariinsky Theatre
This October, the Mariinsky Theatre opens its grand doors to a month of pure ballet enchantment — a celebration of beauty, grace, and the timeless artistry that has made St. Petersburg the heart of classical dance. The golden halls of this legendary theatre will host performances of rare brilliance, bringing together the stars of the Mariinsky and, in a special collaboration, the celebrated artists of the Bolshoi Theatre of Moscow.
6 October – Swan Lake
The month begins with a night of legend. In just a few hours, the curtain will rise on Swan Lake, Pyotr Tchaikovsky’s immortal masterpiece, starring the incomparable Viktoria Tereshkina as Odette–Odile and the electrifying Kimin Kim as Prince Siegfried. Tereshkina, a true icon of the Russian stage, is acclaimed for her dazzling technique and emotional depth — her Odette is ethereal and tragic, her Odile glittering with danger. Together with Kimin Kim, whose soaring leaps and noble presence mesmerize audiences worldwide, this promises to be an unforgettable evening, one that defines the very essence of ballet perfection.
7 October – Romeo and Juliet
The next evening brings Romeo and Juliet, Sergei Prokofiev’s dramatic ballet of love and destiny. The radiant Oxana Skorik, with her long, lyrical lines and aristocratic elegance, dances Juliet, while Nikita Korneyev embodies the youthful passion of Romeo. Their partnership captures both the tenderness and tragedy of Shakespeare’s timeless lovers.
8 October – La Sylphide
On Wednesday, La Sylphide graces the Mariinsky stage, a poetic vision of romantic ballet by Herman von Løvenskiold. The enchanting Maria Shirinkina, known for her delicacy and musical phrasing, portrays the elusive Sylph, opposite Kian Mangis as James, in a performance sure to shimmer with dreamlike beauty.
9–12 October – The Bolshoi at the Mariinsky
From the 9th to the 12th of October, the Bolshoi Theatre of Moscow visits St. Petersburg for a historic series of performances at the Mariinsky II stage, presenting The Bright Stream, a joyful ballet by Dmitry Shostakovich — a sparkling blend of humor, charm, and virtuosic dancing.
The first evening features Anastasia Stashkevich, Alexei Putintsev, Elizaveta Kokoreva, and Vladislav Lantratov, dancers of extraordinary vitality and precision.
On 10 October, the stage belongs to Anna Nikulina, Igor Tsvirko, Kristina Kretova, and Artem Ovcharenko.
Among them, Anna Nikulina shines as one of Moscow’s most sublime ballerinas — a dancer of rare intensity and emotional truth. Her presence, radiant and regal, captures the very soul of Russian ballet. Her artistry, blending power with poetic sensitivity, makes her performances moments of pure transcendence.
The Bolshoi’s visit continues on 11 and 12 October, with alternating casts including Daria Khokhlova, Denis Rodkin, Eleonora Sevenard, Yaroslavna Kuprina, and Egor Gerashchenko — each performance a feast of color and joy, a meeting of two great ballet traditions in one unforgettable weekend.
11–12 October – Don Quixote and Vaganova Academy
Meanwhile, at the Mariinsky Theatre, Don Quixote by Ludwig Minkus bursts with energy and brilliance. On 11 October, Maria Khoreva, the dazzling young virtuosa, joins Yevgeny Konovalov, while on 12 October, Anastasia Lukina and Ruslan Stenyushkin bring new life to the fiery Spanish tale.
Earlier that Sunday, the Vaganova Ballet Academy performs Die Puppenfee (The Fairy Doll), a delightful glimpse into the next generation of Russian talent.

The month concludes in beauty on 30 October, with Giselle starring the divine May Nagahisa, whose fragile lyricism and crystalline technique have made her one of the most captivating young ballerinas of her generation, partnered by Even Capitaine.
A Month of Ballet Brilliance
