Moscow Ballet’s Great Russian Nutcracker 25th Anniversary
All ages are invited to celebrate Christmas with Moscow Ballet’s company of almost 40 ballerinas and danseurs on its 25th Anniversary Tour!
Moscow Ballet’s Great Russian Nutcracker is known for its award-winning Principal Dancers, lavish costumes in the style of the Victorian era, backdrops created by La La Land designer Carl Sprague, and Russian focus including life-sized Matryoshka Dolls, Russian folk legends Ded Moroz (Father Christmas), and Snegurochka (Snow Maiden), and Troika Sleigh. Adults and children alike will enjoy the special effects of the flapping winged owl on the grandfather clock, the growing 50-foot Christmas tree, the Dove of Peace with a 20-foot wingspan, and of course, the leaps, spins, and extraordinary moves of the company, all performed to Tchaikovsky’s complete and incomparable score.
