Why see Grand Kyiv Ballet - The Nutcracker?
A Christmas Classic
The extremely talented dancers of Ukraine's Grand Kyiv Ballet are back on the stage in North America, performing Tchaikovsky's must-see holiday classic The Nutcracker! Originally written by E.T.A. Hoffmann, Tchaikovsky's masterpiece score to the world-famous ballet received its debut over 130 years ago, in 1892. A truly timeless work, an evening spent at a performance of this enchanting show is the perfect way to welcome in Christmas with the whole family!
What is the Story?
One snowy Christmas Eve, at a great townhouse where a party is in full swing, local magician Herr Drosselmeyer arrives with gifts for the children, including a wooden nutcracker for Clara, the oldest child. When the clock strikes twelve an adventure begins and the Nutcracker comes to life, leading our heroine Clara into a war between mice and tin soldiers, and into the enchanted Land of Sweets where a festival awaits them.
