Just look forward to the world-famous ballet The Nutcracker, performed by Ukrainian ballet stars in the Classical Ukrainian Etoile Ballet to Tchaikovsky's endlessly beautiful music. A wonderful experience for the whole family!
The Nutcracker is a beautiful fairy tale about young Clara who falls asleep and finds that the Nutcracker Prince, toy soldiers, snowflakes and the Sugar Plum Fairy come to life. The dream is not only cosy, full of sweets and snow. Clara and the prince also have to fight overgrown rats and mice.
It was the composer Peter Tchaikovsky who turned this story into one of the world's most popular ballets in 1892, and today it is a worldwide Christmas tradition to see this performance. Perhaps it has something to do with the fact that both dance and music are perceived as universal languages, and no matter your nationality or age, you are gripped by this story of a girl's fragile dream and the struggle between good and evil, where love wins in the end.
This version of The Nutcracker uses classical choreography by Marius Petipa and is performed by Classical Ukrainian Etoile Ballet. The company consists of professional Ukrainian ballet dancers
who do not have the opportunity to perform in their home country.
Duration:
Approx. 2 hours, including interval.
