Moscow Ballet brings its 2008 Great Russian Nutcracker to more than 90 cities across America, beginning in early November. Now celebrating its 16th annual USA tour, the Moscow Ballet’s artists will cross the country in November and December, with artistic directors Anatoli Emelianov and Vladimir Troshenko leading simultaneous tours of the beloved holiday classic.
Acclaimed for exquisite dancing and spectacular sets and costumes, critics rave that Anatoli Emelianov’s Great Russian Nutcracker is “flawless,” “breathtaking,” and “dazzling.” Whimsical and imaginative storytelling blend with the richness of Russian classical dance to make the Great Russian Nutcracker a memorable holiday treat for everyone.
Emelianov’s Nutcracker has been praised by critics for its unique setting of Act II in the “Land of Peace and Harmony.” To convey his message of peace, Emelianov incorporates an ethereal dove that escorts Masha and the Prince to a land where there is no war and suffering.
