La Mirada~The Moscow Ballet is set to perform its Great Russian Nutcracker at the La Mirada Theatre for the Performing Arts on December 19, 2010 at 3:00 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. TWO PERFORMANCES ONLY!
The world-renowned Moscow Ballet is celebrating its 18th annual tour of the Nutcracker tour by performing in over 50 cities across the U.S. and Canada, including here in La Mirada.
The show features spectacular sets and beautifully costumed Russian dancers, a holiday treat for the whole family, with whimsical and imaginative storytelling blended with the richness of Russian classical dance.
Choreographer Anatoli Emelianov has been praised by critics for his unique setting of Act II in the "Land of Peace and Harmony." To convey his message of peace, Emelianov incorporates an ethereal dove that escorts Masha and the Prince to a land where there is no war and suffering.
Set against Valentin Fedorov's spectacular scenic design, with dancing, larger-than-life puppets and hand-painted backdrops of unicorns, exotic birds and animals, Moscow Ballet's presentation is a visual delight.
This year's tour stars the world's premiere ballet couple, Cristina and Alexei Terentiev and the cast features luminaries of the Perm, Vaganova, Moscow State Academic Choreographic and Kiev schools.
