The Nutcracker Ballet at the Alexandrinsky Theatre: the Magic of Tchaikovsky and New Year's Miracles

The Nutcracker ballet in Nikolai Androsov's original version comes to life once again on the stage of the Alexandrinsky Theatre in St. Petersburg. This work, based on the music of P.I. Tchaikovsky and the plot of the New Year's fairy tale by E.T.A. Hoffmann, continues to captivate viewers with its magic and beauty. The Alexandrinsky Theatre, famous for its rich history and magnificent architecture, provides the perfect venue for this performance, where each viewer can immerse themselves in the atmosphere of festive magic.

The production is distinguished by a fresh take on the classic story, in which the girl Marie and her brother Fritz, participating in Christmas celebrations, find themselves involved in fantastic adventures. Tchaikovsky's music, combined with I.A. Safonova's choreography, creates a unique atmosphere where fairy-tale images come to life on stage. Particular attention should be paid to the role of Drosselmeyer, performed by People's Artist of Russia Farukh Ruzimatov, who gives the character new facets and depth.
