    The Nutcracker is a ballet in two acts. The Nutcracker is P.I.

    Tchaikovsky’s
    eternal classic in the choreography by Vasily Vainonen. The Mariinsky Theatre
    has two versions of this ballet. The one we have watched is considered to be the
    classical one. This is the Christmas performance suitable for people of all the ages.
    There is definite value in transferring music and story to a ballet. It is a
    quality and the look that are consistent. The plot is based on E.T.A. Hoffmann’s
    children’s story about magical mice, sugarplum fairies, toy soldiers and dolls that
    come to life. That ballet made the author of the story and the composer popular for
    all times. The plot is absolutely fantastic. The fight of good and evil, love and hate
    is a moving power. It is a colorful and sensuous dance production.
    What is more important the creator managed to tell the plot and organize it
    in the right way with the logical ending without saying anything. As well as the
    plot Vasily Vainonen, the choreographer of the performance, introduced the
    characters gradually. This version lasts about 1 hour 40 minutes, however, those
    who want more could visit the theatre and experience it with all the feelings and
    emotions. This is not necessary for everyone but ballet-lovers will be amazed and
    amused with the width and the scale of the performance.
    It is a magnificent achievement, the story of friendship, love and heroism.
    Along with famous there are also some young dancers. Moreover, there you can
    see Vladimir Shklyarov as the Nutcracker Prince. He is a doubtless decoration of
    the performance. With good reasons he is Honored Artist of Russia. Nevertheless,
    in any ballet, the main character is always a ballerina. That is why the main
    character is Masha the Princess created by Alina Somova. Her dancing very
    technical and emotional, her easy, aerial, and at the same time powerful jumps
    always cause a flurry of ovations. The dances are in the height of perfection.
    Delight is what always causes the Nutcracker. First of all, this is a beautiful
    fairy tale with a well-known plot. Amazing scenery, rich costumes, everything in
    this ballet is at the highest level. In the first acts, the plot unfolds gradually, so that
    in the second we can fully enjoy the magnificent classical dances accompanied
    with the fascinating music of Tchaikovsky. Bright Spanish Dance, languishing
    Eastern Dance, melodious Chinese Dance, cheerful Trepak, and fascinating Waltz
    of Flowers performed by ballet dancers in gentle pink of border lights are the most
    famous components of the second acts. In this part of the ballet, there are many
    solo and duets that reveal the skills of the artists, and the audience meet them with
    enthusiastic ovations.
    Most of those who watched the Nutcracker also read the book. Moreover, it
    is an incredibly exciting experience to see Vasily Vaionen’s adaptation and
    compare the impression made by the book and the ballet. It makes love the world
    of theatre and appreciate every minute of the exciting performance. Overall, it is a
    great production and I would certainly recommend it to everyone to dip into the
    vortex of dancing.
