The Mariinsky Theatre is one of the most famous opera and ballet companies in the world. Alongside the historic building of the Mariinsky Theatre, built in 1860, and the Concert Hall which opened in 2006, the Mariinsky II forms part of this theatre and concert complex, unique in its artistic and educational capabilities. The auditorium of the Mariinsky II is a contemporary hall in a horseshoe shape with three balcony levels. Swarovski accent lights are studded in the balcony fronts are designed to give sparkle to the hall, as small candelabras once did in old theatres.
