The theater begins with a hanger. And how does a musical performance begin? Let's remember: the light in the large chandeliers has not yet been extinguished, the heavy curtain on the stage has not been lifted, and musical sounds are already flying around the hall. The fast passages of violins, cello flares, short, trumpet test fanfare ... This is set up and played before the performance by the orchestra. And although the orchestra is a full participant in any musical action, it is almost invisible from the audience, because it is not located on the stage, but in a place with a mysterious and even gloomy name “orchestra pit”. If you love and listen to music a lot, you can distinguish the soft timbre of the alto from the noble, velvety voice of the cello with the same ease as Italian from Spanish.

The orchestra pit has its own rules and secrets. Want to know them? Come to our concert. The Mariinsky Theater Symphony Orchestra will become the main character of the concert, rise to the stage and reveal all its secrets.

Concert duration 1 hour

The concert goes without intermission
