The Alexandrinsky Theatre is the oldest Russian national theatre. The building is part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site Historic Centre of Saint Petersburg and Related Groups of Monuments. The Alexandrinsky Theater is only two blocks from our hotel. Wally, Terry, Carol, Jackie and Steve attended a beautiful ballet performance, Swan Lake, here.
