thread_title:  Sanctions 

message: I would add section called like "Events schedule". Mariinsky announce their schedule in 2-3 months before the events, so it will be very helpful to know their schedule rules if you plan to visit the theatre during your trip to Russia. E.g. a lot of travelers to Russia in August are unpleasently suprized that there is no way to see the theatre performance or even visit the building during this month.
Vacation time is usually from last week of July, during all of the August and till 2nd half of September. During this time no events are performed and theatre building itself is closed.
Except this vacation time, theatre is open all the year round.
There are almost daily evening performances at the Mariinsky Theatre main stage (either ballet or opera) and 3-4 times per week evening performances at the Mariinsky Concert Hall (either classical concert or opera-in-concert). Usually evening performances start at 7 pm, but sometimes may also start at 6 pm or 8 pm. In addition, sometimes there are morning or daytime performances as well, that can start either at 12 am, or at 2 pm or at 4 pm. Morning performances usually hold on Sundays, as a rule it is classical ballet or opera.
Except summer time (May-July), usually there are no events on Mondays. Also 1st of January is a day off for the theatre.
After it was destroyed by fire it was restored as the Mariinsky Theatre its history is usualy bulked to the Mariinsky theater. lets merge abakharev 14:38, 11 February 2006 (UTC)

Actually the Mariinksy Theatre and the St. Petersburg Bolshoi Kammeny are 2 seperate theatres. 
The site where the current St. Petersburg conservatory is today is where the Bolshoi Kammeny once stood. It was remodeled into the conservatory, sections of the original building were utilized for the conservatory (for example the main stair case). The original building of the Bolshoi was never destroyed by fire.
Originally the site where the Mariinksy is today was a building that housed the circus, as well as the Italian Opera. Thiswas the building that burned down, and subsequently the Mariinksy was built in its place, designed by the grandfather of Alexander Benois.
Alot if historicle sources, etc. have this history very much confused, similar to many historians stating that Minkus' first ballet was "Paquita", scored jointly with Deldevez.
*Yes, I know that the theters were in the different locations (as a matter of fact it was me who put the info about the location on the article about the Bolshoi Kammeny Theater. A theater is more than a building, it is people, traditions, etc. They passed from the Kammeny to Mariinsky. That is why, the history of the theters are usually put together. E.g. in Mariinsky Theatre the passage: The Imperial opera and ballet theatre was established in 1783 on behest of Catherine the Great. is related to the Bolshoy Kamenny Theater. There was nothing related to Opera or Ballet on the place of Mariinsky in the 18th century, etc. The same way the history of the theaters is merged in the history display of the Mariinsky itself (or at least was displayed before I left Russia). Thus, I am for merging. If we would keep the articles separate we need to refer  St. Petersburg Imperial Bolshoi Kammeny Theatre, referred in the Mariinsky theater article, as part of the story told there is not about the Mariinsky. abakharev 06:34, 14 February 2006 (UTC)

message: The article states "...expected to begin in Autumn 2006."  Folks, that's a long time ago.  Either it "was expected to begin in autumn 2006" or it "began in autumn 2006." The following two articles might help in a re-write.

Mariinsky Not Going as Planned
The Moscow Times 
ST. PETERSBURG -- The government has suspended its contract with French architect Dominique Perrault to plan and construct a new building for the Mariinsky Theater over fears that his firm could fail to deliver the project on time.

Mariinsky Theater Opens New Concert Hall
By Galina Stolyarova
Staff Writer
Valery Gergiev, the indefatigable artistic director of the Mariinsky Theater, was triumphant on Wednesday at the inauguration of the theater's brand-new, state-of-the-art concert hall, located in the company's former warehouse on Ulitsa Pisareva, a few hundred meters from the historical building.

message: A couple of things:
* Surely the image captioned Tsar's box is not the Tsar's box.  The box shown is adjacent to the stage, whereas what I'm fairly sure is the Tsar's box is behind the stalls in the centre, rising all the way up to the top balcony.  There's a picture of the auditorium that shows this on the Mariinsky Theatre page in the Russian Wikipedia ().
*:Look at a picture. Tsar's box is in the middle, seats are allocated by red colour--Andrey! 14:11, 3 August 2009 (UTC)
