SYNOPSIS
In the park in front of the castle, Prince Siegfried and his friends are celebrating his coming of age. The guests drink his health and make merry. The jester entertains them with his antics.
Someone warns the Prince that his mother, the reigning Princess, is approaching. The merrymaking stops immediately because all the traces of the little feast must be removed. The jester’s clumsiness, however, betrays them: he lets the tell- tale wine goblets fall to the ground.
The Princess is displeased with her son’s behavior, but the maidens, running up to present her with a bouquet of roses, mollify her. After the Princess in gone, the merrymaking starts all over again.
Twilight falls. The guests depart, leaving the Prince alone in the park. High above, Siegfried sees a flight of white swans. The sight stirs the hunter’s ugre in him. In him. Seizing his bow, the Prince makes his way into the heart of the forest.

Ballet Hall "Aurora Palace"
Ballet Hall "Aurora Palace" is one of the most beautiful theatres in Saint-Petersburg built in the middle of last century.
The theatre is located in the very centre of Saint-Petersburg next to the most famous historical landmarks of the Venice of the North. The view from the windows of the theatre’s lobby is absolutely stunning: the magnificent water artery of the city – the Neva River and historical centre(Peter and Paul Fortress, Saint Isaac Cathedral, the Winter Palace-Hermitage, historical landmark – famous cruiser Aurora) take the breath away.
The focal points of the Russian history are closely associated with the cruiser Aurora. The cruiser was launched in 1900 by the order of tsar Nicolas II and fought its first battle during the war between Russia and Japan.
October 25, 1917 became a very special date for “Aurora”, because it fired the shot that started the revolution and signaled to storm the Winter Palace. The cruiser became the symbol of Saint-Petersburg. On board the ship there is a museum which hosts over half a million guests every year. The cruiser and the skyline of the city could be best seen from the lobby of the theater and from the theater’s restaurant.
The seats at the Ballet Hall "Aurora Palace" have the amphitheatre arrangement with back rows located above the front rows like in the oldest imperial theatres in order to give each guest the clear view of the stage. Soft comfortable armchairs help enjoy the magnificent ballet even better.
The lobby of the theatre is richly decorated with paintings. The exterior is decorated with the beautiful mosaics called “the Anthem to the city” designed by famous artists.
The Ballet Hall "Aurora Palace" is the centre for cultural life of Saint-Petersburg; it hosts many important social events every year.
