Stunning principal dancers, spectacular scenic design, sumptuous costumes, and the exquisite artistry of 40 top Russian artists have made the Great Russian Nutcracker an American holiday tradition not to be missed. Critically acclaimed for its unique setting of Act II in the Land of Peace and Harmony, the Great Russian Nutcracker entertains all with new characters and larger-than-life puppets that are set against a stunning backdrop of unicorns, exotic birds and 
animals. An ethereal Dove, a messenger of peace, leads Masha and her Nutcracker Prince to the peaceful kingdom. Beloved Russian fairytale characters, Father Christmas and his granddaughter the Snow Maiden, add to the whimsical and imaginative storytelling that sets this Nutcracker apart. Again this year, the children's roles will be taken by the students of Gotta Dance.
Expressive and a delight to watch...

The technical clarity, bravura and partnering were the ultimate examples of Russian mastery of the classical ballet art form... the most exquisite partnering work to be seen anytime, anywhere.
