Marc Haegeman Posted February 3, 2003 Share Posted February 3, 2003 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: http://tickets.mariinsky.ru/index_eng.php * The official site of the Vaganova Ballet Academy in St. Petersburg: http://www.vaganova.ru/ In Russian, Japanese, and they are working on the English section. * The site of the St. Petersburg Mussorgsky State Academic Opera and Ballet Theatre - Mikhailovsky theatre (the Maly Theatre): http://www.reserve.sp.ru/opera/index.htm In Russian and English. * The site of the Hermitage Theatre in St. Petersburg: http://www.souzsporttheatre.ru/?n=31〈=eng In Russian, English, French, and German. * The site of St. Petersburg Ballet Theatre (Tachkine Ballet Theatre): http://www.spbt.ru/ In Russian and English * 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. For Ballet Lovers Only: http://www.for-ballet-lovers-only.com/ Link to comment
