The Nutcracker ballet in Nikolai Androsov's original version invites viewers to the Alexandrinsky Theatre for a magical journey into the world of fairy tales and music. This unique production is dedicated to the 100th anniversary of the birth of Irina Alexandrovna Safonova and embodies her choreographic legacy. The music of Pyotr Tchaikovsky and Ernst Theodor Amadeus Hoffmann, orchestrated by Andrei Tanonov, sounds in a new light, creating an unforgettable festive atmosphere.

Special attention in this version is given to the role of Drosselmeyer, who appears in the image of Hoffmann himself. The choreography for this part was specially created by Nikolai Androsov for the outstanding artist Farukh Ruzimatov. The costumes, designed by Ivan and Olga Glazunov, emphasize the mystical side of the character, existing at the junction of reality and fantasy.

The plot of the ballet remains true to the original: the girl Marie and her brother Fritz celebrate Christmas, and then find themselves in the center of magical events. The Nutcracker, given to her by Drosselmeyer, saves Marie from the Mouse King and takes her to a fairy-tale land. This journey becomes possible thanks to love and a miracle that turns the doll into a handsome Prince.

The modern artistic design of the performance, including multimedia decorations, creates an atmosphere of a real New Year's miracle. The production features People's Artist of Russia Farukh Ruzimatov, invited soloists and a symphony orchestra conducted by Maxim Alexeyev.
