We are going to an evening performance of swan lake and wondering what we should wear baring in mind we would be on the day trip prior to this and not returning to the ship beforehand

You will find that most are dressed in the clothing they wore during the day tours - it will be mostly tourists attending the ballet (unless you are attending a performance at the Mariinsky) dressed in everything from shorts to casual chic (mostly just casual though).

Thankyou

There is no strict dress code for an evening ballet performance show. The audience will be mostly tourists as well who came from a whole day tour without any time to change clothes for the show. A casual and presentable clothing should be fine.

Yes, last time we saw the Russian ballet in St. Petersburg we just didnt have enough time to go back to the ship for a change. So we were very casual. I was happy to see that we were not the only ones... The Cruise terminal is quite far out of the city center.  Unless you are cruising on one of the smaller cruiselines who dock in the center.... 

You will enjoy the experience!
