St. Petersburg is not only Russia's most beautiful city, but arguably also one of the most sought after destinations in Europe. Now it is challenging Paris and London to become a center for theatrical art.
2011 will see St.Petersburg for the first time hosting the European Theater Prize, a St.Petersburg city government spokesman said following his talks with the Prize Secretary General Alessandro Martinez in Italy on Wednesday.
Anton Gubankov cited his city’s well-developed theater infrastructure, adding that many prominent cultural figures currently live and work in St.Petersburg.
The European Theater Prize was established by the European Commission in 1986.
