Here are some useful links re the Kirov/Mariinsky and ballet in St. Petersburg.

* The official site of the Mariinsky Theatre:

http://www.mariinsky.ru/ru (Russian section)
http://www.mariinsky.ru/en (English section)

Unfortunately the English section limps a bit behind the Russian one and is less frequently updated.

The monthly schedule of the theatre can be found on:
http://www.mariinsky.ru/en/playbill

There are now also online booking facilities:

* The site of St. Petersburg Ballet Theatre (Tachkine Ballet Theatre):

* Unfortunately there aren’t that many sites about Kirov dancers yet.  Here are few, usually containing a short biography and photos (in Russian and English):

Irma Nioradze: http://www.irmanioradze.ru/

Natalia Dudinskaya: http://dudinskaya.narod.ru/


* Biographies and photos of Kirov (and other) dancers can also be found on:

Small Ballet Encyclopedia: http://www.ballet.classical.ru/

A site in full expansion. Now mostly only in Russian, although the first steps towards an English translation have been made.
