The opening of the 227th season of the Mariinsky Theater, St. Petersburg, has been done on 28. September 2009 with Tchaikovsky's last opera "Iolanta", starring the opera diva Anna Netrebko in the title role and Valery Gergiev conducting the Chorus and Orchestra of the Mariinsky Theater.
The rest of the cast was coming also from the Mariinsky Theater with Sergei Skorokhodov as Vaudémont, Sergei Aleksashkin as René, Alexei Markov as Robert and Edem Umerov as Ebn-Hakia, Andrei Zorin as Alméric, Fyodor Kuznetsov as Bertrand, Natalia Evstafieva as Martha, the young Ukranian soprano Eleonora Vindau as Brigitte and the young Russian mezzo-soprano Ekaterina Sergeeva as Laura. Then, finally, the cast has been almost the same one of the premiere in Baden-Baden on 18. July 2009, with the only difference being Sergei Skorokhodov, instead of Piotr Beczala, as Vaudémont. The stage director was Mariusz Treliński and it was a co-production of the Festspielhaus Baden-Baden.
After the performance, Anna Netrebko was entitled as Honorary Doctor of the Institude for Children’s Traumathology. Anna received a golden scalpel and a medal for the financial support made under the title/motto: “For saving children’s life”.
The premiere of this production, in a double program "Aleko" and "Iolanta", was performed at the Mariinsky Theater on 17. and 18. April 2009. A few months later, then with Anna Netrebko making her role debut as Iolanta, Piotr Beczala as Vaudémont and Valery Gergiev conducting the Chorus and Orchestra of the Mariinsky Theater, was performed at the Festspielhaus Baden-Baden on 18., 21., 24. and 27. July 2009.
