Super production. Great Orchestra, Conducter with heart immersed in the music. His face gave away every scene. The Corps de Ballet were excellent. The costumes and the sets were sumptious and colorful. The Principals were beyond any words of praise or crituque that I could give them. Tchaikovsky's music is not of this world

[AJG]

Spectacular in all regards. Wonderful reimagining of more traditional choreography and storytelling in addition to the exceptional principal dancers and corps de ballet. Excellence in both artistic expression and staging.

A pity, they didn't mention the complete cast in the description. The male dancer in the Spanish dance is quite a personality and very elegant. Very impressive the Trepak dancer, too.
Loved the performance very much. The perfect Christmas treat. Thank you for posting.

А разве Украина не отказалась от всего русского? Или Чайковский не относится к той части ? Где сносили памятники и переименовывали улицы, чтобы снести все русское напрочь .. Эх ! Как это двулико ...

Some peculiar costuming but the orchestra were brilliant. Good to see the ballet is being supported for Ukraine.

Thanks, Ukraine! A beautiful rendition of Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky's "Nutcracker Suite." Bravissimo!
As Pope John Paul II said and Pope Francis said again, Our Lady watches over our beautiful Ukraine!

There changes in this production story wise but the dancing, especially the two principals. The opera house is beautiful but there was sadness for me wondering if the venue is still, are the dancers safe. This was before Russia invaded. But I felt safe. The Arabian is always lack, the blackamoor.
