Great Russian Nutcracker
Featuring spectacular sets and beautifully costumed Russian dancers,
Moscow Ballet's Great Russian Nutcracker is an annual treat for the whole
family. Whimsical and imaginative storytelling blends with the richness of
Russian classical dance to make the Great Russian Nutcracker a unique
performance not to be missed!
Choreographer Emelianov has been praised by critics for its unique setting of
Act II in the "Land of Peace and Harmony." To convey his message of peace,
Emelianov incorporates an ethereal dove that escorts Masha and the Prince
to a land where there is no war and suffering.
Set against Valentin Fedorov's spectacular scenic design, with
dancing, larger-than-life puppets and the backdrop of unicorns, exotic birds
and animals, Moscow Ballet's Great Russian Nutcracker is a visual delight.
