Each year for approx. two decades the Moscow Ballet has entertained
audiences in a traveling show hosted in various cities throughout the U.S.
and Canada. Averaging 100 Nutcracker Ballet performances during November and
December, this coast-to-coast production combines the highest caliber of
Russian ballet choreography with high leaps, low lunges and multiple spins
and a time honored Christmas story woven with guest artists and casting
calls for local children to appear in the performances. The winning combo
makes for home town appeal and incredible pride in having the locals appear
side-by-side with the world's great talents of the ballet world. There are
more than 30 professional dancers in each performance, larger than life
puppets, 10 hand-painted backdrops, and hundreds of original Russian
costumes.
The 2010 West Coast tour of Swan Lake and the Great Russian Nutcracker
selected 2008 Varna International Ballet Competition (IBC) Gold Medalists Cristina and Alexei Terentiev,
a premiere ballet couple, to perform the leading roles in both Swan Lake and the Great Russian Nutcracker.
The couple’s dancing is acclaimed around the world.
