At the beginning of 2019, Tchaikovsky’s famous ballet The Nutcracker will be performed by the Crown of the Russian Ballet Theater on the stage of MosConcert Hall. 
The magic ballet by Tchaikovsky is based on the kindest Christmassy fairy tale about the brave girl Masha, the bewitched Prince the Nutcracker and the evil Mouse King. Hoffmann’s mysterious story about the eternal confrontation between good and evil and the victory of love plunges the audience of all ages into the magical world of childhood, filled with genuine miracles.
 
The most magical and New Yearly work by Tchaikovsky is known throughout the world as The Nutcracker ballet.

You cannot say the same about The Nutcracker, because this ballet is entirely made up of such hits! This is one of the most recognizable ballets in the world.

Naturally, children love to see fabulous battles of domestic mice against dolls that have come to life under the Christmas tree... But more than that, it is a humanistic story about the hopes of the young, the foretaste of the first love, and readiness to fight for it and win over evil powers. The subjects of love and courage, self-sacrifice and the struggle between good and evil are brought up.
