The historic city of St. Petersburg boasts a plethora of cultural experiences that capture the magic of a city renowned for emperors and empresses. The ancient rulers were infamous for their first-class entertainment and the White Nights tour brings that entertainment to life.
Originating in 1993 by Valery Gergiev, the White Nights Festival has presented world-class performances in both Russian and Western languages. From operas to ballets, choral and symphonic concerts to chamber music and recitals, the festival presents the extraordinary entertainment that was once enjoyed by ancient rulers.
Our White Nights tour offers a unique opportunity to experience the ancient history of St. Petersburg and to understand what made it such an enchanted city in the Russian Empire. The Imperial Theaters, paid for with private funds donated by the Romanovs and owned by the monarchs, drew the most outstanding and talented singers, dancers, composers, and performers.
We agree with Dostoevsky, except that he should have written that those nights are for the young at heart. The White Nights experience truly defines the beauty and history of an exceptional city.
