Description

The Nutcracker just in time for Christmas: Fairy-tale Russian ballet art for young and old. A masterpiece with live orchestra accompaniment The ballet "The Nutcracker" is based on Alexandre Dumas' version of the story "The Nutcracker and the Mouse King" by E. T. A. Hoffmann. Tchaikovsky's musical adaptation premiered on December 18, 1892, in Saint Petersburg under the choreography of Lev Ivanov and delighted both children and adults. Classical ballet art has often been highly praised by critics worldwide. But a proverb says: "Seeing once is better than hearing a hundred times." Experience the beautiful ballet "The Nutcracker" with the International Festival Ballet and Festival Orchestra. The focus is on Marie. On Christmas Eve, she receives a Nutcracker from her godfather Drosselmeyer. As she goes to sleep, she dreams of a battle between the toy soldiers led by the Nutcracker against the army of the Mouse King. With his help, the Nutcracker wins, and he transforms into a prince. The prince travels with Marie to the Land of Sweets. They pass through the pine forest to the Zuckerburg castle, where the resident sugar fairy hosts a celebration in honor of her guests. Additionally, the magnificent stage design by the brilliant theater designer Vjatscheslav Okunev, who has worked for the Mariinsky Theatre in Saint Petersburg and La Scala in Milan, along with beautiful costumes and the boundless elegance and carefree lightness of the International Festival Ballet ensemble, create a dreamy and fairy-tale version of a classical ballet that continues to fascinate even after over 100 years.
