More than 100 musical events and theater performances were organized at different venues, including both traditional ones, such as opera houses, concert halls or theaters, and non-traditional ones, such as lobbies of subway stations, lobbies of museums, radio and television studios or night clubs.
The main event of the "Night Music" was the "Opera Gala Concert" held at the Rimsky-Korsakov St. Petersburg State Conservatory featuring Anna Netrebko and Erwin Schrott, making their first joint concert in Russia, with Claudio Vandelli conducting the St. Petersburg State Symphony Orchestra "New Russia".
The day before, Anna Netrebko, Erwin Schrott and Claudio Vandelli gave a press conference at the hall of the St. Petersburg Conservatory, the place where Anna had followed her musical studies. Anna had left the Conservatoy before having finished her studies and, therefore, she never got the Diploma. Before the concert Anna Netrebko received the Diploma from the St. Petersburg Conservatory delivered by the chairman of the Culture Committee, Anton Gubankov, and the rector of the Conservatory, Sergei Stadler.
Anna Netrebko, Erwin Schrott and Claudio Vandelli arrived to St. Petersburg after having been giving two joint concerts in Ukraine, in Odessa on 1. Dec and Kiev on 5. Dec 2010, and one joint concert in Latvia, in Riga on 8. Dec 2010. Following this concert in St. Petersburg, they will travel to Moscow, where they will end this tour, to give a private concert at the Kremlin.
