“The Nutcracker,” Peter Tchaikovsky’s world-renowned ballet, will be performed for three consecutive nights by the Moscow Ballet on Friday 28th, Saturday 29th, and Sunday, December 30th. Each performance will be held in the Salle des Princes inside the Monaco Grimaldi Forum at 8 pm.
In association with concert organizer BerinArt, the Monaco Grimaldi Forum and the Grand Moscow State Classical Ballet currently under the direction of Natalia Kasatkina and Vladimir Vasilyov are bringing the delightful holiday ballet “The Nutcracker” by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky to Monaco.
A Christmas season classic, which has enjoyed fantastic popularity, and generally one of the world’s best-loved ballets, The Nutcracker has enthralled ballet-goers for decades. This production of Tchaikovsky’s masterpiece is being performed by the Grand Moscow State Classical Ballet.
In a flurry of color and music, the ballet’s 63 dancers will take to the Salle de Princes floor to celebrate the music, authentic choreography and festive atmosphere of the winter season. The ballet is revered for its excellence in its native Russia, and across the Occident, notably in Europe and America. The Kasatinkia and Vasilyov staging and production brings fantastic creativity to this historic fairytale. The result is a fantastic family outing just in time for the holidays.
According to the Grimaldi Forum website, the production retains Vasily Vainonen’s famous choreography with the dance of the dolls, the waltz of the snowflakes, and the Grand Pas de Deux performed by the lead characters.
