The classic ballet The Nutcracker, telling the story of young Clara’s adventures, gains new meaning by being combined with Charles Dickens’ A Christmas Carol. The extraordinary stage grandeur, characteristic of Hungarian choreographer Youri Vámos’ style, is reflected both in the lavish costumes and sets as well as in the unique theatrical imagination.Technically demanding for the ballet company yet amusing and full of emotion, this tale about the Scrooge family intertwines with the classic themes of the ballet libretto and its iconic dance scenes: the Snowflakes, the character dances, and the spectacular pas de deux.
This production is designed for the whole family, yet it is ambitious enough to satisfy even the most discerning ballet connoisseurs.
