| Saint-Petersburg is often referred to as the “Capital of culture”, meaning that the city is a “guard of greatest values”, “heir of cultural legacy”, “world treasury”. In fact, there are not many cities in the world that would be able to boast of such museum collections, such opera, and such literary heritage. Saint-Petersburg is bastion of classic ballet school – and a motherland of Russian rock music, Dostoevsky – and yearly festival of punk poetry, special world of old apartments with bronze chandeliers – and thousand people stadium raves. The cultural life of Saint-Petersburg is nowadays just as diverse as in any world capital. Hundreds of performances are staged in the city theatres, from classical operas in Mariinsky Theatre to “Claustrophobia” in Smaller Drama Theatre. |
