St Petersburg is known for its musical traditions. There are wonderful opera houses like the Mariinsky Theatre. Its famous conductor Valery Gergiev organises the annual Easter Festival of classic music. The Mariinsky is famous for the first nights of outstanding Russian operas like Life for the Tsar (or Ivan Susanin), the first Russian national opera, by Mikhail Glinka. It took place in 1836.
The world-famous Russian composer Peter Ilyich Tchaikovsky was born in the town of Votkinsk. His most famous works are the ballets Swan Lake, The Nutcracker and The Sleeping Beauty. His music is considered to be catchy, romantic and sentimental.
The Russian choral tradition is long. The first Russian folk choir was organised by Prince Yuri Golitsyn in the village of Novocherkutino (now Lipetsk Region) in 1856.
Many Russians like jazz. The famous Oleg Lundstrem big band was founded in Shanghai, China, by Oleg Lundstrem and his brother Igor in the 1930s. In 1947 the band came to live to Kazan, and in 1964 to Moscow. Their concerts have always been very popular and successful and they have often played to full house.
In some Russian parks you can listen to brass bands. They are very popular among older people
