Tchaikovsky: From Votkinsk to Saint Petersburg

Tchaikovsky's life runs from his birthplace in Votkinsk through the School of Jurisprudence, the Saint Petersburg and Moscow conservatories, the Mariinsky Theatre and his house in Klin to his grave in Tikhvin Cemetery. Most of these places can still be visited. The route follows the composer from his birth on 7 May 1840 to his death on 6 November 1893: childhood in Udmurtia, a civil-service training he gave up, music school, two opera premieres and the last symphony. The cause of his death is still debated, and the final stop says so.
