Moscow Ballet

Great Russian Nutcracker  |   Romeo And Juliet   |   Swan Lake  |  Sleeping Beauty  |  Cinderella

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!

Moscow Ballet has been praised by critics for the unique setting in Act II
of the "Land of Peace and Harmony." To convey a message of peace, an
ethereal dove escorts Masha and the Prince to a land where there is no
war or suffering. Set to Tchaikovsky’s famous score, Moscow Ballet’s
production features 200 lavish costumes, larger-than-life Russian puppets
and 9 hand-painted backdrops that are embellished with 3-D effects.

Moscow Ballet continues its commitment to "Celebrating Children…The Arts
Can Make a Difference.” Local children in each market will audition to appear
with the 132 Russian dancers on the tours. Last year, more than 6,000 U.S.
children performed the Great Russian Nutcracker with Moscow Ballet’s
dancers, as part of its educational outreach campaign.

Set against Valentin Fedorov's spectacular scenic design, with larger-than-life
puppets and the backdrop of unicorns, exotic birds and animals, the Great
Russian Nutcracker is a visual delight.
