Moscow City Ballet

Artistic Director Smirnov-Govolanov's version of The Nutcracker has an innovative freshness and the orchestra, choreography, interpretation, beauty and outstanding virtuoso performances win repeatedly rave reviews.

Tchaikovsky 'big story ballets' are the essence of Russian culture - composed, choreographed and premiered in Russia, and seeing performances by Moscow dancers never fails to add that magical ingredient of Russian soul.

The Nutcracker is the perfect festive treat for the whole family.

"For sheer colour, movement, athleticism, artistry and of course music, Victor Smirnov-Golovanov's Moscow City Ballet together with the Moscow City Ballet Orchestra put on a great performance, much appreciated by a packed house." - The Public Reviews
