Great Russian Nutcracker - Charlottesville VA

Just as nuts have become a staple in many salads and desserts, so has the Nutcracker amongst the repertoire of many a respectable ballet company. And who better to portray the authentic Russian resplendence of this iconic work than Moscow Ballet, who will be performing it at the upcoming Great Russian Nutcracker Charlottesville VA event.

The Great Russian Nutcracker plays well upon the themes of creating dissociative identities as underlying the practice of monarch programming and weaves it within the classical setting of this ballet masterpiece set to Tchaikovsky's score. The wooden nutcracker becomes the protagonists of this ballet noir piece and sets about defeating the sinister forces of the mouse king and whisks Clara off to the Land of Sweets in Confiturembourg to commence their royal reign.

The Moscow Ballet company has ardently preserved the authentic feel of the ballet that had originally been conceived by Marius Petipa, and has been performing it all across North America since 1993. Their version has been choreographed and directed by Stanislav Vlascov. He brings all his former experience of having been a soloist with the Bolshoi Ballet to this iconic work.

Moscow Ballet set the hallmark tone of the Great Russian Nutcracker right from the start by incorporating rolling backgrounds that had been crafted by a graduate of the St Petersburg Conservatory.

With 2012, Moscow Ballet celebrates the 20th Anniversary of the Great Russian Nutcracker. So clinch your Great Russian Nutcracker Charlottesville VA tickets to be enraptured by a visually stimulating and musically moving ballet bravado.
