The theatre, New Holland and the blocks around them. By day it is courtyards and an island with a lawn. In the evening the city drains toward one entrance.

The Mariinsky Theatre and New Holland: a lawn on the island by day, one theatre door by night.
New Holland by day, the performance in the evening. Without a ticket the area is still a walk. The point is just different.
Useful if the evening is the theatre. After the show a taxi is easier to find than quiet.

By day enter New Holland from the Admiralty Canal embankment or from the Moika: inside are the lawn and the buildings, and there is no stage. By night the district gathers at the Mariinsky door on Teatralnaya Square. Two times of day, one quarter.
