St. Petersburg State Capella is named in memory of the famous Russian composer M.I Glinka. St. Petersburg's Capella became popular as a center of performance of the best works of Russian and West European composers of the 15th-20th centuries. Most of these musical pieces were written for the choir.
Capella house was constructed by L. Benua for the Emperor Court Choir
Capella. This choir was the oldest professional choir created in Moscow
in 1479 and transferred to St. Petersburg in 1703.
Musical renditions of the Capella House today include organ, choir, and
solo concerts of sacred and classical music. Most performances start at
7.00 p.m. Please book a ticket at the booking office between 12.00 noon
and 7.00 p.m.
The Capella House is about 10-20 minutes walk from "Nevsky Prospekt" metro

Palace..
