The concert, which featured such mega stars as Plácido Domingo, Rene Pape and Anna Netrebko, and of course the host Valery Gergiev, was a stunning display of music and dance on the highest level.
However, the ones who made the evening truly memorable, at least for this "reviewer", were the Mariinsky ballerinas. To me, they are the essence and the beauty of the Mariinsky tradition:

| Yekaterina Kondarouva |

The Mariinsky Children's Chorus was another of the evening's highlights:
And, of course, Boris Godunov in all his splendour:
 |
| Evgeny Nikitin |
Still another highlight: The Song of the Volga Boatmen
 |
| Bass Mikhail Petrenko and the Mariinsky Chorus |
