The Hermitage Theatre in Saint Petersburg, Russia, is one of five Hermitage buildings lining the Palace Embankment of the Neva River. Built between 1783 and 1787 at the behest of Catherine the Great to a Palladian design by Giacomo Quarenghi, it was the second theatre of the Winter Palace. Its semicircular auditorium is decorated with coloured marble and ten niches for statues of Apollo and the muses, and its original stage machinery remains in place.
