This season, viewers can expect a breathtaking performance of The Nutcracker ballet by the L. Yakobson Ballet Theatre on the stage of the famous Alexandrinsky Theatre. Based on the fairy tale by E. Hoffmann, this work comes to life thanks to the music of P. Tchaikovsky and choreography by Vasily Vainonen.
