Unfortunately, I manage to visit it only during TEFI. But I can say that, judging by the Mikhailovsky, St Petersburg theatres handicap the theatres of Moscow.”

In the category “Entertainment programme. Life style” Andrey Maximov won with his programme “Personal belongings” — he also visited the Mikhailovsky Theatre for the first time. “I’m stunned with the interiors and atmosphere. I’m sure to see a ballet performance when I’m in St Petersburg.”
