The ballet "The Nutcracker" in the author's version by Nikolai Androsov invites viewers to the Alexandrinsky Theater, where the classics are given a new lease of life. This performance, dedicated to the 100th anniversary of the birth of the great Irina Safonova, has become a real event in the world of art. The production was created in collaboration with the Classical Ballet Theatre, which continues the traditions established by Safonova.

Nikolay Androsov, Honored Artist of Russia, presented the audience with a unique interpretation, in which the role of Drosselmeyer takes on a new meaning. In this version, Drosselmeyer appears in the image of Hoffmann himself, thanks to which the story acquires a mystical tone. The choreography was specially developed for the outstanding artist Farukh Ruzimatov, whose performance adds depth and expressiveness to the performance.

The musical accompaniment, combining the works of Pyotr Tchaikovsky and Ernst Theodor Amadeus Hoffmann, edited by Andrey Tanonov, allows the audience to immerse themselves in an atmosphere of magic. The costumes, created based on sketches by Ivan and Olga Glazunov, emphasize the festive mood and add brightness to the production.

The main plot remains true to the classics: Marie and her brother Fritz celebrate Christmas, but the holiday turns into an exciting adventure when the Nutcracker enters into battle with the Mouse King. Marie's love works wonders, turning the Nutcracker into a handsome Prince and opening the doors to the fairytale land of Confiturenburg.

Multimedia decorations come to life on the stage, creating a unique New Year's atmosphere. The performance features invited soloists of the St. Petersburg Ballet and a symphony orchestra conducted by Maxim Alexeev.
