Enhance your Christmas season with the Russian Classical Ballet ’s performance of “The Nutcracker” at 8.30 p.m. on Thursday, Dec. 22, at the Rossetti theater.
At the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries Russian ballet entered into the most brilliant period of its history. The success of the Nutcracker was due to Pyotr Tchaikovsky’s music and the immortal Marius Petipa’s stage direction on the basis of E. T. A. Hoffman’s fairy-tale “The Nutcracker and The Mouse King”. Lev Ivanov created the choreography of the ballet.
The first performance of the ballet “The Nutcracker” took place on the 6th of December 1892 on the stage of The Mariinsky theater. But this ballet has been changing all through the 20th century.
Presented by Il Rossetti, which has a long-standing winter tradition, this timeless classic will delight and entertain adults and children alike as it fills the audience with the Christmas spirit.
Tickets will be available at the door or online at www.ilrossetti.it.
This one time performance by the Russian ballet is not to be missed.
