The St. Petersburg Opera Theater was created by director Yuri Alexandrov in 1987, when the society needed new creative ideas. Despite all the difficulties of the perestroika period, the theater, conceived as a creative laboratory, immediately took a prominent place in the musical and theatrical Petersburg, gaining a reputation as a "live opera theater", "search theater".
The theater was formed as a single creative organism with a unique repertoire program. Its range covers musical works created in different genres and in different countries over many centuries.
Over time, the theater has grown into a professional State Chamber Musical Theater "Saint Petersburg Opera", well known both in Russia and far beyond its borders.
In 1998, the theater acquired its own stage, the mansion of Baron von Derviz (Galernaya, 33), whose history is closely connected with the musical and theatrical history of St. Petersburg, became it.
Since the day of its foundation, the artistic director of the theater has been People's Artist of Russia Yuri Alexandrov.
