Today the St Petersburg Imperial Orchestra represents one of the highlights of the Saint Petersburg musical events and is an important part of the cultural and artistic life of the Russian cultural capital.
The St Petersburg Imperial Orchestra consists of young, dedicated and highly qualified musicians. The ensemble is accompanied by two opera singers, a soprano and a baritone, and two ballet-dancers.
Ensemble which performs in historical costumes is the special attraction of the event. The choice of the setting, the program, the authentic costumes, the enthusiasm of all these young musicians and not least the typical Russian atmosphere, all contribute to create an ambience which makes the audience feel as though they have stepped back to the end of the 18th century. 
At that time it was very common just to play single movements of symphonies or parts of different concertos alternating them with operatic arias or duets.
For those "Musical Academies", as concerts were called at that time, orchestras tried to provide maximum enjoyment for the audiences by setting up their programs of only the most popular pieces of various composers.
The orchestra's repertoire ranges from folks music to a great variety of instrumental concerts (for violin, piano and wind) to arias and duets from the most famous operas.
