The Nutcracker
The Nutcracker, the last ballet of Piotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky, has been one of the most beloved ballets of all time since the 1960s. The reasons for its popularity can be sought in the fact that the theme of the story and picturesque music are harmonised with the fairy-tale atmosphere of Christmas time and winter. In the hands of exceptional modern Canadian choreographer David Nixon the work blossoms in all its beauty for today's audiences - both children and adults who still know how to awaken the child in themselves once in a while - to enjoy.
