Moscow Ballet celebrates its 19th annual tour to 60+ cities across North America in 2011 with top award-winning dancers. Eighty impeccably trained Russian dancers perform the Great Russian Nutcracker, the beloved Christmas story, with amazing leaps, spins, and lunges. Set to Tchaikovsky's famous score, this production features lavish costumes, charming larger-than--life Russian puppets and nine fanciful backdrops, that are hand-painted and embellished with 3-D effects - a must see for the whole family!
