Moscow Ballet’s Great Russian Nutcracker will perform at the Robert Ferst Center for the Arts at Georgia Tech in Atlanta on Saturday, December 14, 2019 at 2 p.m. and 7 p.m.
Step into a simpler time filled with sweet dreams and Christmas magic as you and your loved one's journey with Masha and her Nutcracker Prince through the Snow Forest. With world-class artists, over 200 dazzling costumes, stunning sets, towering puppets, and soaring birds, Moscow Ballet’s Great Russian Nutcracker is the family tradition perfect for all ages! Celebrate this cherished Holiday experience set to Tchaikovsky’s timeless score and create memories that will last a lifetime
Each year, more than 6,000 children nationwide take to the stage alongside the Moscow Ballet professionals and participate in the Great Russian Nutcracker, creating
lifelong memories and a once-in-a-lifetime experience for students ages 6 to 18 with at least one year of ballet training. Among the thousands of children who have had the opportunity to share the stage with Moscow Ballet dancers, Sasha Obama, daughter of former President Barak Obama and his wife, Michelle, appeared as a mouse at the 2012 performance and 2013 as a Snow Maiden in Bethesda.
The ballet students, who study at ballet schools in the area, auditioned for Moscow Ballet Audition Director Mykhailo Shcherbakov this past summer and fall and rehearsed their roles at the Moscow Ballet Host Dance Studio Atlanta Professional Dance Academy. In Atlanta, the “Dance with Us” cast will perform their ancillary roles of Party Children, Snowflakes, Mice, Snow Maidens and Variation Dancers.
