Please note that the cast may change.

Choreographer: Vasily Vainonen

The Nutcracker ballet to the music of Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky, edited by People's Artist of Russia Nikolai Tsiskaridze, is on stage at the Alexandrinsky Theatre.

The classical libretto by Marius Petipa is based on the short story by Ernst Theodor Amadeus Hoffmann, translated by Alexandre Dumas. Modest, Tchaikovsky's brother, and Ivan Alexandrovich Vsevolozhsky also participated in the creation of the first version of the ballet. Staged in St. Petersburg in 1892, the ballet made a deep impression on the public and received a lot of positive reviews from critics of the time. Gradually, many versions of this production appeared. One of them is the version by Vasily Vainonen, a famous Soviet choreographer, whose version was presented on the stage of the Alexandrinsky Theatre by Nikolay Tsiskaridze.

As more than a century ago, tickets for the ballet "The Nutcracker" give viewers a meeting with a miracle, a New Year's mood, delight from the stunning genius music of Tchaikovsky and the grace of the ballet dancers.

Over the years that the ballet has been performed on various theatre stages, it has undergone many changes, becoming more artistic and three-act. The characters have become more choreographic, and the plot has united all the heroes, transferring the audience to a magical world where the fulfillment of dreams is the main thing.

Choreographer Vasily Vainonen, inspired by Hoffmann's fairy tale "The Nutcracker and the Mouse King", created a performance that captivates with its magical atmosphere and deep emotions. The original direction of Nikolai Tsiskaridze makes this performance more modern, closer to today's audience, while preserving the language of the original. Its premiere has become one of the most anticipated events of the theater season.
