Folkloric in St. Petersburg

[Gr8 2 cruise]

Has anyone done the fokloric show in St. Petersburg? Would you recommend it or is it just a "tourist" trap? Here is the description from HAL:

 

This is an evening of spectacular cultural value featuring the St. Petersburg Highlights folklore group. Embark on a fascinating, 90-minute musical journey through different regions of Russia, with acrobatic Siberian Cossack dances, Russian and Ukrainian choral singing, and a special Gypsy ensemble which includes the famous Russian folksong, The Dark Eyes, accompanied by live Balalaika music. Champagne and orange juice will be served during intermission.

We did a folklore evening 2 years ago and it was excellent. The performers were so talented. I would recommend it. Enjoy :)

We did it as part of a private tour from a company called "Alla Tours" (excellent tours, by the way). It was a good show and we were glad we went but it was at the end of a VERY tiring long day...so pace yourself accordingly:)
