"Lost in Corinthia" is an immersive theatre tour that takes you through the most intriguing pages in the history of the magnificent 19th-century buildings on Nevsky Prospekt that today form the Corinthia St Petersburg. From 1869 to 1887, one of these buildings was home to the legendary Samoilov acting dynasty and a centre of the theatrical, musical and literary life of the imperial capital. It welcomed the most celebrated actors, writers and composers of the era, whose names are forever written into the cultural history of St Petersburg.
Through the secrets and everyday life of the Samoilov family and their famous guests, you will learn about the key events that unfolded within these walls.
You will visit spaces that still hold the echo of their voices and creative debates, and witness scenes from their brilliant and at times dramatic lives brought back to life.
Immerse yourself in the atmosphere of artistic St Petersburg in the second half of the 19th and early 20th centuries: the hotel carefully preserves the spirit of the era, and its historic façades and interior details take you back to a time when ladies in voluminous gowns and gentlemen in top hats strolled along Nevsky Prospekt. You can also enjoy a unique view of the city's main avenue and feel part of its never-ending history.
